Board's kinda dead with no FishinFellaS, isn't it?

I did get a Christmas card from him last week with his eastern WA postmark on it. I suspect he had someone do his mailing for him.

And... we don't have our highly esteemed TroutMaster on here anymore. Regardless of whether he sends me a card or not.

I know one is down in the sun but the other one has a dog so he can't go anywhere. It's kind of quiet with out either one around. But I'm still here but I'm just to quiet. And so is Micro Brew,but he's been quiet also. If you don't get out you don't have nothing to say. But I went to the Skagit today and that is just about the only river that is fishable unless you want to include the Sauk.

Yup, it's the quiet time of year here on WashingtonLakes.com... time to do a little archiving.

Last I heard from FF was mid November, while he was in CA. He said he was headed back around 11/15. T took off for Costa Rica and sent him an email when I came back, no reply.
FishinFella - where are you?

Zen - you're still on the dark side, aren't you?

Zen Leecher , The troutmaster lurks in all dark corners,under steps and in the gloomy darkness. I am here you just have to know where to find me. I dont come on during the day as I am working , mostly come by at night to see whats happening. Now I have surfaced and now we can see if F.F. shows himself.
Zen You didnt get my card?????? I guess you wont get a present then ethier!!!!!!!!

Got an email from FF today. He's been off cyberland for the last month.

I'm Baaaaaaaak, like troutmaster,I been lurking around, licking my wounds
from that baaaaaad California trip. I got Californicated 5 times the first month and
decided Washington and the home fire looks pretty good. Drove 13 hours straight
through with a detour around a bad wreck south of Bend.

I did get A trout down there at Iron Canyon Rez..........called it my $1000.00 trout. Everything costs more in California!!!!!

Zen, didja like the Redheads????? The big Lahontins in Lenora were slammin them pretty
good this fall when I got back!

Hey, ya know why Santa is always laughing with the ho,ho,ho's and all?????
HE KNOWS WHERE ALL THE NAUGHTY GIRLS LIVE!!!!!!

Thinking about holding another FISHFRY to spice things up this winter but it's hard to
work up the gripes necessary after spending my sentence in LaLa land

Hey who changed the foremat again.....I don't like it!

Merry Christmas to all..... May there be a huge trout in alla your socks!
anamosity being Xmas and all.

Welcome back Oh Mighty FishnFellaS.

Yep.. got the flies and had them in my pocket this morning. Decided I didn't want to take them to work and set them on the counter for more "study" tonight.

The double bead makes them look like they'd be a good fly for catching trout.
