Everyone is having a wonderful time and everyone is catching fish. I broke my arm on the second day , I couldn’t fish after that but hung around because it was a blast!
I thought i had just badly sprained my wrist and it was getting better then 3:00am on the 4th dAy it began to really hurt. So I packed up and I drove for 9 1/2 hours back to Canada and free medicare . The x-rays showed a break of my arm just above the wrist. I am now sporting a pretty purple fiberglass cast from elbow to fingers. getting it reset was not a fun thing.
The people at the fish in so far have; fallen in (3 so far ), broke an arm, twisted an ankle , smacked into a log with their ribs, cracked their head on a rock and tossed the tip of a Channer bamboo rod into the selway so far (got it back ) . Plus a chicken went to its last reward. And there are two days left. Perhaps I am safer at home. :lol:
I got lots of pictures and hope to have them on here soon. Hard to type with a broken wing so I will sign off for now.
sure wish I could have met superman as rumors have it he flew in last night. Too late to xray vision my arm.

Hhhhmmm…were there cocktail hours :shock: :shock: :shock:
Must be something about Idaho. We went for our week at Henry’s Lake from the 14th through the 24th, but I received a call on the 17th morning that my mother/my best friend did not wake up. A very big shock because ther was no warning and she had told me the day before to hurry home, she missed me.
I am sure she has her wings by now and is with me always.

All the rest of the “experiences” are understandable. Since nobody else is asking, just what the hell was a chicken doing at the fish-in? :shock: :shock: Was it there as part of a meal (fresh is best)…tying material (renewable resource)…someone’s pet (I never met anyone with a pet chicken)? This ought to be a good one.
I spent several years in the US Army and went on many military manouvers with hundreds of other guys and didnt rack up this kind of mishap score. :shock:
You guys rock, and I want to party with some of you. :lol:
GBF –> Bill and I were sorry to hear about your broken “wing” !! We hope that it will be a speedy recovery for you…
Fly Goddess –> Words cannot express how I feel about your news. It is one the greatest fears I have, losing my “best friend” and mother. Keeping you and yours close to our hearts, in our thoughts, and prayers…
FG…You are in our prayers. Sorry for your loss, but you are right. She will remain with you always.
GnuBee…Sorry about your bad break…pun intended. Sounds like you may be safer at home. Who said fly fishing is a “non contact” sport? Glad to hear you had a good time while you were there.

After i broke it the next morning I gouged my finger with a hook while getting my gear out of Cookie monster’s (Dennis Garrison ) car. I went and sat at the picnic table and bragged about my bleeding finger to the guys that were there. Whereupon Cookie leaned over the table and looking me in the eye said very seriously, Gnu Bee you do know that flyfishing is not supposed to be a bloodsport don’t you???
We will be here for you!
