[Kingfisher]

Had a fantastic time there. Yes Wayne and I should have taken notes from Flygirl. She was putting on a clinic. Oh well it was a good time.

I fished by myself for the most part. Which meant I could move around a lot. I think I hit pretty much evey spot in the lake. After fishing all over I figured out that I should have stayed put at the first spot I was at on Friday. The water was murky Friday and Saturday. But Sunday it was as clear as a bell. Must have been some melt water coming into the lake.

I got to meet up with some of the forum folks. Wayne and his lovely wife Karen, Flygirl, Tacklerunner, Doctor D., Bucktaker and his buds. I didn't get to see everyone I wanted. But I did try to send out some texts. It seemed like I spent way too much time taking my crap down and setting up again. Won't make that mistake again.

I did see one guy from Lomond who set up his rods and had them in wire stands. He jumped back in his truck. He got a hit which took his rod and flipped it right out of the wire stand and down the hole it went.

Any way. I learned a lot. As Wayne said he and I both were guilty of using humoungous bait. I would do the derby all over again in a heart beat.

I left on Sunday at noon. I hit the pub in Vulcan right at 1pm. Just in time to watch the hockey game. Nothing was going to stop me from seeing the big game.

Cheers,
Rob
