Hi Manny

I think you should bring the wife to the Early Show Sunday, November 9. Casting lessons. Several pros there to help with line.

as well as all the knowledge you can absorb in one day. Plus lots of gear. Fly tiers tying all day.

Thank you Tom for hosting this event and the great food! Thanks Ed for settingthe event up.

Tom great looking fly!

I am gonna try to make an appearance. Though I have a few things to do in the afternoon.As well as FISH.

Do you mind if I chow, tell a few stories then run for the hills?

Tim

If you still have the rod please bring it to the cast and compare if possible. I am interested and would like to try it out first.

Thank you.

Plan to be there.

Great looking red canoe Ed! Wishing you Many years of enjoyment with your gnu red canoe

Hi stuart you forgot Michael's sunglasses. Pat h has them. She lives in Batavia. Pm her

Hey Ed, count me in as well. Eugene said is bringing my contribution to the pot luck for me.

That works! Ill being coleslaw for you. You bring some burgers to grill for me! Ha. ha ha

Ed

I will be there. Plan to bring something? Not sure yet?

But I will be there.

How many more days? :-)

Ah yes! The freedom of a boat!

Nice catch Tom.

I understand that and agree, but you got the first part right.

I'm not allowed to drive very far so I'm all local.

Amazed they let you out. ... :-)

Stop over at tanglewood marine in st charles. They had a couple 6 horse outboards.

Like Rich said, jump up to a 70 or a 80 pound trolling motor.

The new Jackson kayaks are more stable than last year's models.

Great event!

John was enjoying his ride on pond hopper, until he missed a pig of a largemouth.

Ahhhhhh..........

Ipilot. That is next for my boat. Actually the big fish finder! I bought

The 80 pound terrova 24 volt trolling motor.

I like running the trolling motor by foot. Have been using foot control

For 20 years or better. Now I am learning how to fly fish while running the

trolling motor. Little more work, but I am learning. Spin tackle-no problem.

Float your boat- Saturday morning -try my pond hopper. It will be similar to your boat

With a hand control trolling motor.

Hi Tom

Are you looking into new or used motors?

Jet drive would be a Plus. running the shallows of the fox.

Agree with Rich. .. 24 volt trolling motor. Drag you around

all day on electric only lakes!

Stop over at tanglewood marine in st charles. They have a couple little

Used Outboards on display. Good mechanic as well.

Great looking mouse. Late winter I attended the bass buggers demo of the

The-Down and dirty- a nice easy tie, sits low in the water, when the fox was wadeable I had a couple hours.

The mouse caught a smallie. But so did a buzz bait.

Full moon is this weekend. .... Have fun!

Ed, sounds like a great line up! Thank you Rocktown adventures!

Pond hopper and I will be there.

Jim is in my prayers!

rest in peace Jim!

Was able to take a couple pics before battery died.

John l, Mikea, Ed b, Bart, Edward l, Eric and his son Grant

and I met up for some breakfast and fish talk. Decided to fish

A pond/lake west of 47. Eric and Brent went hole hoping their way to Geneva

Swedish days. While the rest of us set out to fish new waters. John brought an extra kayak

For Mantis to use. WHICH WAS EXTREMELY COOL! THANK YOU JOHN! I enjoyed being

able to fish without running the trolling motor.

Pretty sure Ed caught the most and probably Still smiling.

Lures-jig & paddle tail, shadow cranks

Flies-bead eye clauser, pigboat, wullybugger, crystal bugger, poppers.

Ed what we're yours called? You'll need to tire more. Mantis lost it. But he caught one

Before losing it. and lost it on a bigger bass.

Had a blast! Thanks everyone! See ya when the rivers mellow

Thank you god of rain!

At the present cfs I don't think the Fox is fishable right now, unless your a high water expert like Eric. I can't believe the Vermillion is still at relatively low cfs given all the rain, so I may head to Pontiac for the central Illinois outing.

Ok fine run away from a little haha lot of rain.

I am thinking hitting a pond/lake somewhere close

I already have pond hopper in back of truck.

So far 7 for breakfast. Anyone else?

Well Shaz bot. .. water block. ....

That works for me! Breakfast at Harners. Fish above N/A dam

Would like to see a show of hands. ..... How many are interested?

7:00 am-breakfast

Anybody ?
