Well Ladies it is just about that time once again...how in the world did a whole year pass by so fast! The 2015 Snoopy Rod Classic is on the horizon, Friday December 4th, with the Bogey house once again serving as the Thursday night team check in and watering hole!

Please list your team name and members here and start the verbal trashing that IS the essence of the SRC.

Also, if you would like to participate this year contact either Kev, Parker, Bob, or Myself for approval. Most of the time there is not an issue, but we do try to keep the numbers under control. Remember you must receive a formal invitation from one of the committee members or be sponsored by a past participant.

Lastly, as always we will have a blast, re-unite with old friends, meet some new ones, but keep the focus on raising some needed funds for the Gordon Gracey Medical Fund! For those of you that didn't know Gordy, he was a full time guide in Forks for many years before a near fatal fall doing what we all love to do. Although unable to guide, Gordy still loves the outdoors and through the help of people like all of us, is able to still enjoy a day here and there following his passion, hunting and fishing! This is where we need ALL of your help. In the past we have had numerous donations for the raffle and live auction held during the awards banquet. During this season of giving I am asking you to think of any items, services, or simple donations that you may be able to make so we can help take care of one of our own!

Please PM me with anything you think we can use and we will figure out how to get it! Thanks in advance for your generosity as every year it amazes me how this community supports this event.

C'mon Mark,

A good dunking in the tailout of the hatchery hole is a staple of the SRC...someone will be swimming, hopefully Team Sky Valley Sucks!

Ok...with just over two weeks to go until SRC 2015 I have to admit that this is one of the weakest smack talk threads ever.

Team Sky Valley Sucks
The Team that Sucks Team Sky Valley Sucks....sucks

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....

Beezer

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!

CM

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!
