I am up for it too, but I prefer to only sit in my canoe on non-rainy days, and stand up in cold water (as in steelheading) on rainy days. And duh, I will be out of the GPNW on the 23rd, but back, and chucking flies at steelies right after Christmas through the New Year. Maybe we could do a river trip then.
