Two boxes

So anyway first Jon Boy calls this morning, said he was in to going, and just a couple of minutes ago Poppy called said he was in. 

Poppy lives in I-da-ho  and Jonboy over on the wetside,its been years since the three of us got together. The plan is to meet up in Ephrata, early Friday fish all day have some chow, get a couple rooms, twisp some flies, crash, get up early (haha) and get back to the Creek and fish till maybe 2on Saturday then all head home. Should be a blast.

 Jonboy came over when I was still guiding to rip some Steelhead lips out of the drift boat and I got him into a couple of nice ones.

Not a bad day

  

Neither of them get out and fish as much as they like anymore you know that life thing just to busy making a living feeding the family and the hustle for work and responsibilities. 
Where I learned life is an adventure you better enjoy the ride now because tomorrow there just might not be the time.
I truly believe that they will make it, but no matter what, I know that I'll be going the day after Thanksgiving.        Ginny knows that this is what I love to do, and she backs me all the way.
Winter is coming the roads will be getting bad Snow, Ice, Fog, so I had better get-R-done now. 
           Happy Thanksgiving to all my readers and i'll be typing again soon.
                    Fish when you can, rod bent & Tight lines my friends.
