Philbert,

YO! Yes, that was the year of tears flowing out of Brookfield. I'll tell you what, Dan and I are slated for a November/December run up there again this year (but he wants to swing flies for steelhead like you are supposed tew), so why don't you come down here for the annual albie trip in late October? I know, I know, it could really hurt your reputation as creekmaster while you're out of town, but good lord it's fun! Already have the trip booked and you can split it with me and Dan. Plus you can meet the baby.

Last season's flood on the SR had kings swimming in MY front yard, are you kidding? I can taste the lead in the air at Altmar now. It won't be long.
