Oh, yeah, thanks a LOT Willi. Had I gone on that trip I would definitely
been unemployed, and probably single.

You WOULD have enjoyed it.

Hopefully, I'll get a couple fish pix you'll like.

Looking forward to seeing them. Where's the digital when you need it?

Got one from Kevin. The rest are on RW's and Warren's digitals and
they're still on the road. Meeting up with Chas for some salmon fishing
I believe.

FOF. :-)

I got some photos from Steve and Bob and put up a trip report on my website:

Lots of photos. I compressed them down but it will still be a slow load
for you people using dialup.

Great pix and report, Willi. Damn that looks like fun.

I really don't want to know how Warren got the oar UP his ass, but I do hope
that eventually he got it out. Then again, he sure seems happy about
something.....

This was truly an excellent trip. The weather sucked 80% of the time,
with gale-force winds, but that other 20% was glorious.

It really frosts my ass when that dipshit Fortenberry says Willi is too
impatient or clumsy to be a good dry-fly fisherman. Willi is, hands
down, by far the best angler I've ever seen on rising fish. It's
freaking unbelieveable. (I've fished with Ken.)

wonderful report .... the Bighorn is one place I've never been, but always
wanted to go ...maybe next year

oh, on my 24.6 dialup ... it only takes a little longer to d/load the page
than drive to Montana <g> but it's worth it

I've detected in Ken previously insecurities which manafest as jealousy a
lot. It is obvious through this forum, some 8000 miles away that Willi is a
exceptional and respected angler. I have seen nothing from Ken to indicate
anything similar.

Willi also gives one hell of a trip report!

Excellent TR and Photos. Big question . . . Did Warren return the
fly to you from the trout that broke you off?

Damn, I wish I could have made it!

I thought Steve's pink looked like a stuffed fish with the erect fins
and the position of the mouth.
