Hi Folks,
Another great issue of the weekly FAOL articles today, a full day early.
Hope no one got confused and went to work.G
First thing I noticed were Jim and Deannas weekly columns. It was
easy to feel their excitement and anticipation of two great weeks of
vacation starting today. I wish them well and hope it far exceeds
expectations. They have been working darned hard for a while now
and certainly deserve a break.G First a week with Chris up in the
real North country. I think one of Chris’s famous shore lunches would
make that trip memorable, not even mentioning the monster fish and
beautiful country.G Then another week at the Michigan fish in. Wow!
Over 100 Faolers anticipated and a lot of work already in place by Jack
Hise and crew to ensure it’s success. Sure to have tongues wagging for
some time to come.G
Ron Eagle Elks review of the Drosdak System leaders was certainly an
eye opener. Refreshingly honest and to the point! And if you scan just
a couple of reviews down, Buttermilks (Andy Carr) review of the Elkhorn
Classic Fly Reel and the Elkhorn “Big Thompson” cane are made of that
feel good warmth that that I never tire of reading.G
It was a Good Day by Neil Travis was another great article. Love his
style, and you’ll find a bit of insight on our own Mr. Castwell included.G
The Durango Kid guest column adds even more insight into the mysterious
Castwell personna.G Be sure to read it.
Rick Z is still catching copious quantities of warmwater fish but his
forgetfullness added somewhat to the challenge this week. But he still
turns in a trip most of us would love to experience. Gotta get an invite
to fish with that gent one of these days.G
And leave it to our friend Jamie to get me salivating over his ribs and
taters.G
It was a great way to spend an otherwise uneventful Sunday morning.
Thanks Jim and Deanna. Have a great trip. Warm regards, Jim
You let me know when and we will hit he water.
