Mark -
RELAX!!!! Life isn't over at 6o ... I tripped over 72 on August 31 and things
have slowed down for me, BUT I still keep going. Just keep a young mind and
move ahead. When something looms in front of you that seems like it will stop
you, find a way around it.

Dail, you've been tellin' us all these Muskie stories for a few years
now.........we absolutely have to take you up on that offer to come up there
and go for them. i've never hooked one, let alone landed one. Either has Misa.
i bet she'd like that idea for a tournament. i'll ask her......today's her
birthday.
When we were up in Canada on Lake Wollenston last year.....her biggest Pike
was 39 inches.....mine was 36. The biggest of the trip (we were with a group of
10 people), was 41 and a half. i gotta see your 43 inch Muskie.
There's 4 shows (at least) on that same weekend we did the show up in
Missouri for the Tri-Lakes Fly Fishers last April on the 18th. We stuck to our
committment to do that, but then also got invited to do a show in Canada near
Toronto, (for the Issac Walton League), on that same weekend. i think in 2010
we will go do the show in Canada. Gotta get these things done before we get any
older. i'll be frickin' 60 in Feb. ............jeeze.............

Mark- Thanks for your kind remarks. Sorry I could not get to your house
after the conclave dinner. I was called back to the resort and had to leave
about noon on sat. I did not get to the conclave dinner. Only cost me 30
bucks but I hope the conclave can use it to some advantage. If this rain
will slow up to a cloudy drizzle I am going to shake my new spey line at a few
muskies. Will let you know how it turns out. I need to tie a couple of more
mega divers at least 9 to 10 inches long. The regional Muskie Tournament
last week end netted 43 muskies in 3 days and one day the wind was gusting to
40 mph. According to my buddies they could only troll in that wind and drag a
3 to 4 oz plug tough fishing to say the least. They all shake their heads at
my fly fishing for those critters however when they see my 43 inch female musk
on the wall they shut up. HMMMMM I wonder if I should host a fly fish only
tourn? I wonder what Misa would say. Tight lines and as they say back under
my rock. Dail

NO One, who's tyed 11 Sowbugs should have to "submit
flies".....imho..........that kinna deal is why we had so many empty seats at
Conclave. That and the fact that people simply don't wanna come from far off
and only be given two sessions........you'd have to be nuts to spend money on
gas, tolls, (possibly a baby-sitter), resturants, "the dinner", hotel, fishing
license, silent and live auctions, raffles, etc., etc., etc..........and only
tye two sessions.........again..............imho.
The idea that the people won't come and support the Conclave unless all
the tyers are nationally known is rediculas. .....whoever's commin' to Conclave
is commin' to Conclave, because they feel the experience is gonna be worff it
or it aint, PERIOD! Tyers/fly anglers aren't stupid........they "know" they can
learn "somethin'" from every other tyer.....no matter who it is..........cept
maybe some beginner.........but that level a tyer will not be in the seat. YOU,
should be..........imho.

Mark- I have tied at 11 sowbugs,8 rendevous. and other meets and I can
tie a few bugs now and then. I asked Reed and conclave if I could get on the
tyers list for next year and he told me to submit 6 different flies and he
would let me know if I was good enough to tie. Man was I insulted.

Seems there outta be some level of cross referencing between the two
list.........Sowbug and Conclave. An empty seat serves no purpose.

Tony, tyer attendance is low because the tying chair is working off the
same list every year. We have over 100 FFF members in our club and nobody got
asked to tie. In fact no contact was made to our club to see if anybody was
interested in tying nor has there ever been any contact of that sort. Last year
the Junior Tyer of the Year was not invited. When you work off the same list
every year, some folks die, some move away and some just stop showing up. It
doesn't take a wizard to figure that you eventually have a sparse room. 2 years
ago, when our club put on the Conclave, I convinced Toby to come back after he
swore he would never tie again. I called Bear and asked him to please invite
Toby and he told me to have him send in 6 flies for review and he'd get back to
him. When I started coming to Sowbug, I barely knew how to tie. You told me I'd
be just fine and I was. I haven't missed my session since. Since then we've
been able to add 3 more folks from here to the roster. I could fix it but that
ain't gonna happen.

It was good to see a number of list members and I agree, the tyer
attendance was a bit low.
See you all back at the Sowbug.

Tony- You looked good tying at conlave. Saw alot of tying
buddies it was good to see them. Good conclave but I feel they were short on
tyers but the ones who tied did a good job.. I enjoyed the conclave. We had
8 Tri-Lakes members show up, We need to do better next time.It was good to see
you up and going, keep well. Peggy and Mark sure were going strong as
usual. I got to visit with a few other list members also. Dail Graham

Just had several tyers come by to say so long for now.
Most will be back for Sowbug.
Had a nice visit with several list members. Jerry the
visit with you was no more than a hand shake.. It seems there is not enough
time to really visit.
