Anybody got an open seat? I'm still looking to get on a team. Will bring booze and current river intel.

Tilt one back for Team annilNated tomorrow night. Will try to be back next year. Cheers!

A smaller but dedicated group invaded Forks for the 2015 Snoopy Rod Classic. The weather was the big story this year, as a system dumped a lot of water in the area. An existing slide on the Bogi meant that the river was completely puked for us to fish on for Friday. The copious quantity of water also meant that the Calawah and Sol Duc were questionable at best, let alone not a real option to row for most of the teams.

Not to be deterred, we all got together at the Bogi House on Thursday evening, drank a few cocktails, at some good food and only agreed to meet at the Cafe at 8:00 for a late breakfast and go from there. In the meantime, Chad aka Suck it, aka Bagel Dog, managed to bluff his way as the victor of the SRC Poker Tournament and walked away with a nice batch of jigs.

Friday morning rolled around and after an hour and half breakfast, it was decide to open up the event as a free for all. Any hatchery salmon or hatchery steelhead on any river. That meant that some teams hit the Sol Duc in search of a clipped coho, some teams him the Calawah for a steelhead, some times hit the Bogey for the first annual "get spooled at the mouth of the creek" plunking event, and other teams went south to "Squaw Valley" and to the Creek that is Cooked.

At the end of the day, the results were mixed and expected. Bob's team managed to hook several steelhead, but walked out with the only LEGIT hatchery steelhead of the tournament. Delbert pulled an SRC first and involuntarily long-beach released his steelhead. Team ChuckS hit the Bogi creek mouth and found out what happens when you hook steelhead that instantly turn and run in to super fast heavy water. Team TBird hit the upper Duc and brought home the only clipped coho of the event. Team CanyonMan and Team Squaw Valley Sucks went South and came back with a pile of Cook Creek tribal brats. TeamCanyon Man did officially come back 3 minutes past the 5:30 deadline.

*Biggest steelheadwent to CanyonMan. 8 lbs. something ouches. (*)Tribal Caught

*Team Award went to newly renamed Team Squaw Valley SUCKS. They had 10 steelhead with their largest in the 7 pounds. (*) Tribal Caught.

Team Ball showed up with the only LEGIT steelhead also in the 6-7 pound range.

Team TBird showed up with the only clipped hatchery coho.

Need to shout out a special thank you to all of the SRC sponsors!

Even though it was a smaller crowd, we still managed to raise something over $1,000 for the Gracie family.

Thanks Chuck S, team SKY VALLEY will savor the win.....again. Maybe next year we'll win one for the thumb. Too bad you couldn't have been a part of it....

Although the participation did suffer due to the weather, the diehards that made it to SRC 2015 had as great a time as ever! I also want to personally thank our sponsors listed above and the committed group that braved the elements to make this annual event happen. Like Chuck S said, I will never look at a bagel dog or watch the Deadliest Catch the same EVER again.

The committee is hoping that SRC 2016 will have an expanded field with many new targets....I mean participants ! If you want to put together a team please PM Kev, Parker, Bob, or myself for consideration. Although we cannot guarantee everyone a spot, we will be offering some new teams a chance to show the vets how it's done. The house is already reserved and we look forward to ma nature giving us a break and letting us back on the home waters of the Bogey!

Until next year...Team Squaw Valley Sucks and the Coveted Green Jacket resides in MY closet....my garage closet that is!

Parker or Canyon Man, no one got back to me on where to send the Elite 7 HDI. Leaving town here this weekend, for two weeks. Send me the address so I can get it off to you for the fund raiser. My email is: wldfshmike@hotmail.com. Lowrance is actually the sponsor of this donation. The company allowed me to keep some of the West Marine display units to donate to charitable causes.

Mike

Has anyone heard from Twitch either? I sent him a message about my prize pack of jigs for taking second place at the SRC Poker Tournament, but I haven't heard anything from him yet?

PM sent to you Mike.

4Salt - I've sent out of FB message to Eric.

PM me your contact info and I'll pass it along to Eric.

He got back to me Paker... thanks!
