It's looking like I'm going to miss Troutcamp this year. I have the time off scheduled but my son can't get his schedule to work and my coworker that came last year can't get his to work either. The rain doesn't bother me; I've done pretty well at BB with fishing in the rain before. I am planning to do a trip to BB in January when my son can get his schedule worked out. You folks have fun, wish I could make it. Post lots of pics.

I am on the fence now. Magick has been a bit sick and I have a leaky tent. I don't know. Want to fish, but may wait a week. I just had the worst travel day of my life today, so I am a bit burnt.

I’ve got spare storm proof tent man. And I’m half sick right now, might come back with the flu (like last year), but dammit, I’m going!

It’s where members of this message board meet up and camp and Fly fish for trout, then sit out in the cold and rain and catch the flu.

I'm beginning to think that putting it off for a month or so may be the best move. Just saying.

I’m totally cool if we want to have Trout Camp Redux. Someone needs to propose it and get the conversation started. I can come down for another weekend (more fishing time!). I am still going this weekend though for sure. I have leave scheduled and I am in need of some R&R. Need to fish, smoke some cigars, and look at the Kiamichis. Whoever wants to brave the rain, come on!

I tested out the day use area today while visiting. It was ridiculous, 42 stockers in a little over two hours, didn’t see any big fish there, though. The stop logs being out really opens up a lot of areas around the park to fish.

I’m still in, rain or shine. I’ll car-camp if the snow and ice gets too think for a tent.
And ya gotta come if you want to get the “2018 Trout Camp” memorabilia giveaway. I also have a few left over from 2017 for those who didn’t make it last year.

ONly calling for about 1.25" of total rain, but it could be steady and cold. I know our rainy day in Missouri was not fun, but that was some pretty hard rain.
Let's bring tarps, extra tents, and stay as dry as possible. No reschedule, just maybe add a trout camp in February (Mystery Fly weekend?). BTW - I have a cabin for 8 that weekend, just sayin'.
I am likely coming, but I may just come up Saturday morning and stay till Sunday evening. Friday night looks the worst and I wouldn't get there until after 8pm anyway.
Let's get a roll call..... looks like Danimal, Jonbo, hankins, golferjeff, Ranger1965, Todd13, flyandstream, smallfry, turfdawg, gui, and I know of a few lurkers who planned to come. Who else?

I'll be there Friday and Saturday nights. Wish y'all could meet my wife and vice versa, but this wet+cold weather is a no-go for her. I'll be coming along with a good friend of mine (and fellow fly angler).

I’ll be there around lunch tomorrow. My buddy Dan, who attended last year, will be coming Thursday night. Our wives were coming, but it looks like they’re out now. My son may come up Saturday depending on my report and Jeff’s cigar supply.
If things turn really nasty, I have a cabin a few miles NE of the park that could accommodate a few folks. It’s nothing fancy and Jeff can tell you, it’s a haul out there. A good 40 minutes down some pretty crappy roads that in their current condition and expected rain may require 4 wheel drive. It’s been winterized but we could fire it up if needed.
Any other early arrivers that want to grab some dinner give me a shout.

Just got the forecast for this Saturday. Looks like getting down to TC is no problem, but getting back to Tulsa might be tricky over the weekend.
Anyone staying over through the weekend ? Where are you thinking about setting up the fly factory Small ?
