Originally slicfoot, Tom Bender 'n I were planning to spend the week there at Three Rivers, having a grand ole time. As usual, we reserved the cabin (#7 I think) for us 3 and room for a 4th. But slic has cancelled out for medical reasons, so TB’n I are thinking of finding volunteer roomie. Or I guess we could bag the cabin and the 2 of us just grab a regular motel type room.
Yo Les!
I’d love to take ya up on that deal but as you know, I’ll be just down the road right about that time and ya can’t get there from there.
Hope you find someone to share expenses and the ID Fish-In experience.
For those of us/you who don’t know LesTrout, bunking with him would be the best fly fishing school you could possibly conjure. If you’re even remotely thinking of going, TAKE HIM UP ON THIS.

you would fit right in with that croud. they all snore load enough to wake the dead . the first year at lowell I thought a jet plane was trying to land on the road when I walked by there cabin one early morning walk.

Just found out about a major conflict with the schedule, so TomB and I will not be able to make it to this year’s Lowell fun fest. The heck of it is we were originally going to spend a couple of weeks in CO early July, but the high water pushed that back, as it would have for the Rockies in general. Then I got sucked into the World Wide FF Tournament (I blame this on you ookie); so that will be the 1st 2 weeks of Sept.
Now, after 50 yrs of enjoying being a dry fly purist, I’ve had to learn Czech nymphing, with the Spanish and Polish variations. Mike Murgida was kind enough to take a few days last month to meet me in State College to teach me some of this along with the weird rules.
Guyz, this is worse than work, because I really enjoy work. And it’s not fun at all. I’m realizing it’s the trouts I don’t catch that bring me back to the water, and I don’t particularly enjoy catching trouts. It’s the figuring out and the fooling that turn me on.
So I was looking forward to getting in some real fun ffishing there in Lowell. Ratz.
Yo Les,
Even I who may be/may have been there is disappointed. Your presence and the potential chance to pick your fly fishing brain plays no small part in my making the 200+ mile 58 hour trip from Jackson ( in my 635M, remember?). Sorry to hear you had to change plans but GOOD LUCK and tight lines in the alternative.
