I had a freekin great time . Thanx to all the cooks, great food and the strawbossen goin on, great weekend. Josh i know that feelin just diidn't want to get back to the real world today. It was real nice to meet all the new faces and get to know the old ones better. Thanx for the ride bob and how bout them ladies. paul.
Good friends, good food, and good fishin, that was what this trip was all about. Not much to add to all that has already been said except that if you by some chance pitch your tent between Streamer and DD, make sure you have a good set of ear plugs and if Croaker is anywhere around close move your tent to the other side of the campground.
Special thanks to all that pitched in and helped me pull off breakfast, couldn't have done it without you guys, and to the straw bosses for all the work you put in to make this trip happen.
Boy did I have a blast this past weekend! I first one to thank the cooks for some great food and some free gas around the campfire. Next I would like to thank the strawbosses that got this thing together David, Bob, JT. Also I think there was little competition between Tom and Jack on who could out talk the other. Next year I'm going to have to try some of that spaghetti with the special sauce of Bob's, and definetly not Josh's Beef Strokeandoff which him and Ditch had up in Michigan!
Paul also "....hack .... hack thanks for sharing" the high quality H2O. Juel and Bob thanks for the flies I will find them very useful on some stream or on a hat like Brandon's. JT you had me wondering if you were going Broke Back Mountain on us when you said get your butt in prime position. Josh, Brandy, Bob, Brandon and of course Dick I enjoyed fishing with you guys. Dick you kept me laughing when you woke up from your campfire nap and said, "is the politics over yet". Thanks for keeping the fire going "Perfect Puerto Rican". I could keep rambling on about the stories and Mkentis but Ni they don't call me the rambling man. Sorry for leaving anyone out and thanks for such a great weekend.
The food was top knotch. Great cooks (maybe even chefs)
Group of good folks around camp sharing know how, bs, and everything in between.
loved sitting around the fire. laughing
Got to see some powerful great flies. Was able to share some too.
Thanks to JT and DD and everyone for discussing the PRP around the camp.
Thanks to Pictureman and ZZDriud for letting me tag along to Deep Creek. Caught some fine little specimens.
Mrs. Teachrtec: I loved sitting around the campfire at the end of the day. Great ghost and UFO stories. Great food. Best gumbo I've ever had. Everyone was super nice.

rule #15- don't teach your girlfriend or spouse how to fly-fish, instead teach them how to row a drift boat. You will catch alot more fish this way...-yelton
