It was a great outing for the Vets. I think they said there were around 130 vets there. They tried to make sure there was at least volunteer with 2 vets when fishing. The Caney did not let anyone down. There were 20 volunteer guides for those who wanted to float and some wanted to just wade. All in all, I think everyone caught fish and had a great time. It did rain, but, no one seemed to mind too much. On Saturday, before they opened up the generators, 2 fishermen, who were not with our group, put their V-bottom boat in and, using spinning gear, bounced jigs right in the rushing water coming from the generator and hooked a 26 pound Brown. Sorry, I was not there and no pictures.
Wayne (Newbee) caught this nice brookie and wanted a picture and the picture is not too great since the fog was there plus he was probably 50 feet away, but, here it is:
Here is Gary and Wayne who were assigned to me:
There were a lot of nice brookies caught and one vet below me caught a brown that was about 18 inches. He was too far away from me to get a picture.
Overall, when it was a great success even with the rain and the 500+ kayakers:

Fly fishing and fly tying are two things that I do, and when I am doing them, they are the only 2 things I think about. They clear my mind.
