A couple of questions: Here are the answers my friend...

1. Where exactly do we register for the tourney?
Registration will be friday night & saturday at the humptulips store which is at about Mile post 111 on HWY 101

2. What is the tourney fee? What payment you accept for the tourney fee cash, check, etc.?3
The tourney fee is 20.00 per angler, any form of payment is acceptable except goat rubels.

3. Anybody have open seats? I haven't received a response from the PM I sent you last week.
I have a spot for you in Chris Wilson's boat, a guide and a friend of mine who lives right up the street from me. Dont worry I will bless him with a few jars of my eggs so you will catch plenty of fish.

4. Is there any bank fishing available in case we can't find a seat?
yes there is bank fishing, but you are covered !

Hopefully that answers lots of questions for people.
Thanks
Joe

Anybody looking for a seat? PM me if interested. Looking for one extra person. Will need to bring gear and bait.

I still have a Open seat for Sat. any body want in, shoot me a message or call my cell..

Thanks to all who participated in and attended the Solfly Memorial Tournament! We had a great time on the water and met a bunch of cool people at the BBQ afterwards!

Thanks to all who contributed items to be awarded for the tournament.

Since the rules were a bit lax, we decided to auction off all the prizes for the SolFly, rather than handing them out at the end of the day. Seemed like the better thing to do.

With that, I've taken over the responsibility for this auction. With Bob's permission, I'll hopefully be able to put up a SolFly Auction Post sometime later this month with all the items up for auction and will figure out a way for people to silently bid on items. I'll handle all the logistics.

For those that offered up a prize/donation and have yet to contact or deliver it to Joe, please contact me directly at elparquito@gmail.com or PM me on the board. I've got all (or should have all) of the items received so far and will be going back through the posts to see who said they were going to donate and to make sure their item is with me, etc.

For that just feel like donating directly, I will be using a paypal account. Again, email me or PM me for that account. And yes....whatever goes IN the PayPal account will also go OUT the paypal account to the Wallis Family.

As I said, I'll put this together later in the month. Look for a post and hopefully you all will bid on items for Tim's girls. All proceeds from this auction will go to the Wallis girls. Got some great stuff in there, including some rods by Rainshadow, GLoomis with a Curado 200E 5 reel!, Lamiglass Fenwick, a long box I haven't opened yet, Folbe rod holders, marine VHF radio, portable BBQ, and I've even heard rumors that the winner of the SolFly is going to put up his GBL trip for the auction!!!

PS. Thanks a million to Joe and Karry! You two are awesome and seriously fun to fish with!

Warning: Slight spoiler photo......

Team Rainshadow did OK yesterday.



Let's just say Tim would have wanted it this way

Good to fish with you yesterday, Tim! I know you were up there laughing your ass off at our "shinanigans" on the river.

nice work out there guys..It was a great event!

Peace~

Thanks again to Joe, his family, friends and all the others responsible for organizing Tim's memorial. And also to those who provided the awesome vittles, insane BBQ chicken and warm hospitality.

Congrats Parker on the winning fish and thanks also for the continued PP efforts on behalf of Tim's family.

It was good to finally meet you, Big Joe, Little Joe, Karry, Richard and the rest of the merry PP pranksters.

I also appreciate the heartfelt words from Joe, who spoke for all of us at the BBQ and for many others who were not.
Tim will be missed and we all wish he was still here.

Just as I told Tim while he was with us that I was praying for him, I shall continue to do so for Tim's family and friends. Of course that used to irritate him to no end, but what brothers don't.
The way I see it: Brothers care about brothers and fuss or fight we are still part of a big family.

God bless each and everyone and may He use these unfortunate circumstances to bring us closer to Him and each other.

I want to thank everyone who participated in the SolFly Memorial Tourney this weekend. A special thanks to Joe and Dawn for their over-the-top contribution and effort in this great event and to Gary for their hospitality for the BBQ and over night guests! We enjoyed meeting everyone and hearing stories of good times with Tim.

There were a number of pre-orders for SolFly shirts that I was not able to meet/provide to those who ordered. For those listed below, please send me an e mail at jill_mercer@comcast.net if you are still interested in receiving your order.

Thanks so much, Jill & entire Wallis family.

Sorry I missed the event.

Big props to Joe and his family for the crazy amount of work that goes into something like this.

Also, to Parker for not only catching the big fish and winning the trip up to AK but then deciding to auction off said trip to benefit Tim's family. That is a classy move.

Sounds like it was a good turn out and look forward to more pics. And to auction off the trip is deff. Class act
