The event is actually the weekend before the Flyfising Show in Bellevue (the show was a great time last year).

There are a good number of motels to stay at in Monroe but the Dutch Cup in Sultan has decent lodging, decent food and a fair amount of local culture.

And as long as the river is not flooding into the Park, we will through with it.

This year, the river will actually be open to fishing (last year it was not) which will make it a much more enjoyable time for those coming good distances away as this year, you can fish too.

...maybe your appearance up here would get the Aidster (Bob) back on a steelhead river for a day or two.

Thanks for the well wishes and catch a couple steelies for me while I am gone. And dont you worry, I check all my tackle carefully when I got it home as Old Man Worley kept threatening to cut this or that knot or apply Superglue in a not soo good spot etc. etc. etc.
