Yeah, I’m good. Wish I could’ve stuck it out but I was going downhill fast and also developed a decent back ache along with the cold. Had to leave Thursday afternoon. Healing up nicely now, still managed to catch a good deal of fish while down there. Had a great time hanging out with David and also experienced his generosity. Got to see Todd for a brief minute at the end. Glad y’all still did go and had a great time!!

Good Trout Camp bosses are hard to find.

Wow where should I start? What a great few days of fly fishing and camaraderie. I got to stick some fish in “time out” but more importantly spend a few, fleeting moments visiting and fishing with others. I most notably enjoyed fishing the day use area since I had never seen that area. It was also fun seeing John catch that fat beauty there.
Saturday night was a blast watching Smallfry tying and the others following suit. Then I enjoyed Darrell sharing some of his secret flies. I will be nymphing next weekend in NM and give them a try. By next trout camp, I will succumb and start tying flies.
I would be remiss if I didn’t thank David for his hospitality and providing such a DRY and homey place for us all to enjoy. It was also fun meeting Slim, his wife, Aaron and Peter. As the newly appointed weather administrator, I will be traveling to OK City to meet with the state officials on such matters. I am confident with some planning and meeting the right people, we can get more tolerable weather. Thanks again Hankins for coordinating yet another great trout camp. Look fwd to more fishing stories this winter.

Hey Todd, It was great to meet you and talk baseball, football and most importantly fly fishing. And you’re right, David is a classic gentleman and cooks a mean steak. Memory makers for the wife and I. When you get ready to start tying maybe hankinsfly could check the interest for a tying mini camp somewhere. Have a great holiday season.

Nice reports guys! Did anyone mention it was wet? It was great seeing everyone again and meeting Mr & Mrs Slim and Peter! Thanks for all the kind words. It was really my pleasure. Here’s a pic of the winning big trout caught by Jonbo. Sorry for the quality, it was raining and I was on what turned out to be the wrong side of the river.
