Boy those pictures bring back great memories. I loved the South Fork the one time I fished it.
The Weber was not as nice to me as it seems to be to you. I landed a lot of white fish. The Ogden was a little jewel that I would hate to have too many find. It was not very big but nice holes and for its size good size fish. Boy I miss those. Thanks Tom.
