Mike and Kai, going to give it a try 8-18 of May, then again 11-19 of July, these two trips will be for any tackle. There will be at least one or two others on these trips who fly fish. But Kai I know how tight your schedule is so YOU give me the dates you can go, I will set up a trip around that. YOUR very own DREAM TRIP. Should be able to get 3-4 like minded people. Let me know.

Near term I'm jacked - no time off unless its without pay, and the wife will have none of that....
So that puts me right into the heat of mid summer - I'd like to plan a "Gonzaga on the Fly" in October though. Supposed to be great weather then with little wind, but the water is still warm enough for the good stuff. What do you think?

I'm drooling over that Hatch reel MD - simply beautiful...

OCTOBER it is, KAI please give me the dates asap and I will get it set up. Should be good in October, weather cooling off and fish all over.
Fishing md, October is a ways off, join us you do not need to spend more than a long weekend. These trips can be done on a 3-4 day weekend.

18-25 OCTOBER it is. GONZAGA on the FLY!!! We will plan on bringing an extra table and a couple 3 vices to be used evenings to play with the flys. This should give us 6 great days and one afternoon session. Kai, thank you for your inspiration in setting this up. Been considering this sense we meet at Tidelands, so this trip is for YOU!

Jack caught a larger one which he released unharmed. On light tackle these fish are tough. They are residents of the rubble reefs, sometimes found in less than 10 feet of crystal clear water. Poppers work in shallow waters. They just explode sometimes and your heart will race when it happens to you. Tight lines.
