They sure as *hit make more money that the Phoenix Coyotes and Carolina Hurricanes and they aren't exactly lining up to move those franchises anytime soon.

Ummm....the Edmonton Oilers? Katz issued a letter of apology for the Seattle tactic and realized soon after it backfired. Big time.

LOL Well they certainly have the talent for it!

Yep, after two posts I can see that you have been a long time user.....must be so hard to get used to.

Wow! Certainly some awesome pics there Steve! Looks like a summer full of fantastic memories! Sorry we didn't get a chance to fish together this year, but I'll make sure we do next year!

So glad you cleared that up.

I hate you......

Most chest high waders can easily roll down to convert to waist highs anyway. At least, that's what I have always done. I've always worn chest highs and never had a problem with them.

Was just thinking that same thing..... Not sure while you're smiling so big holding that minnow in the first pic though.....

Yeah....because Jackie reads your posts when you aren't looking.

I bet that deer hates you right about now too......

Looks fun as shiz!

Don't take a leak upstream of the hole your buddy is fishing in.

I want to be your Facebook Friend.....

Here are a couple of the pics I took. Early in the Trip...troutlover taking the lead followed by foothills86 and BiggyJ Hiking up the Meadow to Secret Fish Lake Secret Fish Lake Cutty The shelter most of us stayed at. Peter and Deb tented it. First look at Scarab Lake View over the Scarab Falls Rick scaling the wall to Mummy Lake BiggyJ scaling the same wall The gang arriving at Mummy Lake Mummy Lake Cutty Mummy Lake Cutty, I love this picture Another Cutty All in all, it was a fantastic trip and I can't wait for next year! I look forward to our next mountain lake adventure!

Gotta upload them to Photobucket first! Then I'll add....or maybe I won't.

Yep, that'll do!

Awesome fish dude! beauty!

All I can say is don't go with the ridgeline. I had one on my 5wt and hated it. Had the worst memory! Always coiled and needed to be stretched before ANY outing, summer, spring or fall. I have since put on the Rio Gold and love it.

I have a feeling I may see this rod very soon.....

Colin does do awesome work. I love the Dan Craft he built for me!

Nice fish connie! Great job! Now, you're likely hooked forever. Start saving some money for more reels, rods, lines, flies, waders, wading boots, etc, etc, etc....

What waders do you have now? I've often considered getting waist highs myself, but with the ability to turn pretty much any chest high into a waist high by simply rolling them down, I have lost my desire to get the pants. Nice to have the option to keeping them up in the colder days and mornings. When it gets too hot, just roll them down and you have your waist highs. My thoughts anyway. Sorry for the hijack, I don't have any experience with the hodgmans lol

I have two of the Orvis Access mid arbor reels. One on my 5wt and one on my 6wt. Love them both. Light in weight and have been just fine for drag and stopping power.

That's a hog!! Nice Fish!
