bet they gave you the "secret handshake" and you won't tell..
I liked John's info. I tied some candlefish imitations up a couple of years ago and
forgot about them until I read his email. I know right where they are.
I'll have Hans point you out next meeting I go to and we'll see how closemouthed you
are about the "secret" lakes.
I missed the last two meetings because of fishing trips. June was up to Peterhope in
BC and the fishing was good. July was a week long trip and the best lake I fished was
Hihium. I sure wish I could get back this year but looks like I'll have to plan for
next year instead.
I do have two more trips to BC planned. A trip to Stoney Lake around the middle of
September and another trip the end of September up to the Quesnel area.
