"6 days and counting...!!"

Joe and Tim,

Really looking forward to your visit here! It will be great to meet some of these “names” on all these posts I have been reading! I sure hope the weather here is good so we can really get serious about fishing…

I am even planning on taking off work so that I can be here on Thursday and Friday!

Fishing, eating, tying, visiting, fellowship…6 and counting…

…trout herding at the Duck River Corral… And, maybe, introductions to Charlie, the tree that I’ve done more C&R with than all the trout put together.

:slight_smile:

Ed

WOO HOO it’s almost here

Just got a pm from rons81, he will be here Saturday and join us for dinner after a days fishing.

Somebody better take some pictures and do a write up on this one, or I’m really going to be mad. (and hurt too.) Don’t we have you folks trained yet?

I’m mad and hurt already because I can’t be there! :frowning:

Tell me about it…
Brad

LadyFisher I am all over it like white on rice but I hope The Grand Poobah is ready to do some editing.

Oh and I wish you the best of luck on your upcoming surgery. You will be in my prayers.

I guess we have been given our marching orders!!
There will be photo ops for,
Fishing
Eating
Cooking
Eating
Fly Tying
Eating
General Debauchery, Lying, and other good times too numerous to mention!!
And Eating!! :rolleyes:

Flyfishing here is a true gentlemen’s sport. They don’t shut down the generators on the Elk River until 10 or 11 am so there’s time for sleeping in, breakfast and a little sightseeing. Then they start them up again at 5 pm. so you’re back home by 5:30 to eat, drink and tie fly’s.

P.S. Ed the last wind storm got Charlie. You pulled on him so much his root system was weakened!

Talk about having the “shack nasties” now; way to go you guys. Have a great time.

Jack, I can’t help thinking that 600cfs did more to weaken Charlie’s roots that 6x tippet.
Still, that honey hole should be nothing but better with Charlie in the water!

Ed

Ed;
It was the 1050 cfs that probably did Charlie in, after you weakend his root system! However his older sister Charlene told me she’s going to be all over you like a collapsed tent in a hurricane!! If I reason with her you may get off by just hanging 6 flys in her branches before you start fishing. :wink: Make 'em flashy, she a bit of a show off and they will go well with all those red and white bobbers!!

Well folks the weather for next week has changed 4 times today! From Sunny and warm to rainy and warm and back, now it’s cool and wet!!?? Welcome to our Southern Tennessee weather!!

I’m up to my arse in work and completely missed this post. Grrrr… curse of the working class. Hey Jack, can you get a pizza peel with that cooking stone, or should I bring mine? It will fit in my suitcase so it’s not a problem…just one less thing to haul around. I like to bake the Italian bread on the stone.

FYI for some of you food hounds. Be sure to bring something along to add to the festivities. Appetizers and desserts will be welcome. This ain’t the Salvation Army soup kitchen, ya know (although, there WILL be some soup).:stuck_out_tongue: Any of yoos guys make ATB’s? They would go great with the beer you’re bringing (I like Killian’s Red. Tim likes them all. Jack never met one he didn’t like.:p) Here’s another link about the ABT’s.

Hey guys! Are you going to smoke up a few Bacon Explosions?

That looks like a heart attack on a plate. I think it would be perfect!

Brad

Joe, you better bring the pizza peel. :confused:

Just got a pm from Joe Rodgers over in loretto. He’s going to try and make it, will let me know Thursday. :smiley:

The dinner list is now at 9! :smiley:

I’ll pick up some Killian’s Red, doublewide likes it too. He’s bringing a dessert for Sat. dinner.

We probably will have to plan each day’s fishing location the night before. I’d sure like to have you guy’s see the Duck River but the TWRA’s last stocking was small Rainbow’s. You will catch a lot of fish but Warren and I are worried the small size would be an embarrasment! :frowning:

Killian’s? Bah. Give it back to the horse. I’ll try to find some Samuel Smith’s Oatmeal Stout for us! :slight_smile:

Ed

I’ll be there Wednesday evening with some Killian"s, hot wings and other goodies. There will be enough desert Saturday for about a dozen people.

Waiting to meet y’all.

Tom

Joe & Tim,

After seeing what is going to be on the menu, I thought I would let you all know that while we are fishing, if you get lost and are looking for me, save your time and do not look down wind for me. I will be up wind from you all for sure!:wink:
