DF Outing Journal Entry by Jabseattle:
After a few days to recoup I think I can gather some of my thoughts around this outing. Thursday and Friday seemed to run together for some reason. ptyd Arrived at Dry Falls somewhere @ midnight Thursday to the faces of Yard and Flyndutchman. We shared stories and flies around the fire. Yard and I stayed up til bout 4am tying drunken flies :beer1: and shooting the shizzle. I left DF camp 2 hours later still somewhat buzzed and headed out to fish all day by my lonesome bringing fish to hand but arrived back at camp after a long drive @ 7:30pm to the smiling face
of Bhudda. Told him let’s hit the lake for some night fun. Fished DF with Bhudda, Yard, Ron and a few others members were out there and it seems everyone got into some fish that night.
Back at camp two of my non-WFF friends pull up only to find out they brought their golf clubs instead of their fishing gear because they had no room in the Jeep.
Luckily that night I was able to escape the fire scene altogether and got a good night sleep :rofl: but I heard Worldanglr and Backyard looked for me @ 4am to mess with me since I escaped so early.
Saturday was a sweet day put some miles on the trucks but was lucky enough to fish with Ron, Bhudda, Backyard on a few different lakes. Driving @ Backyard was entertainment in itself plus we got a new sign. We arrived back at camp that evening to Chris pull up on his bike after a very very wet ride.
Fish that evening on DF with everyone….seemed like there were more people on the water on Saturday and many hookups were had and heard: Worldanglr, Alpinetrout, Bhudda, Yard, Ron, Scoones, Hikepat and I think the youngins Dan and Zen were in attendance both nights as well.
Saturday night around the fire was comic. :rofl: Plain and simple you needed to be there. Sorry Kristin for the flying piece of wood it was Yard’s fault for getting me all fired up.
Ron and Kristin had a good sensor of humor especially due to the loud and rowdy fire scene and the tent that turned into a bivy. We passed a few bottles @ the fire shared great stories and had some great conversation with some really great friends. Brats were good ...luckily I escaped @ 4am.
Sunday didn’t even touch a rod. bawling: It was time for Carp Off 2005 Alpinetrout set the ground rules. :ray1: Shot the $hitzle with Ryan and watched Yard stick his carp.
Conditions for the Carp Off were not ideal but both Yard and Zen toughed it out. Great entertainment it was hard not to pick up a rod.
This outing was good to put faces to some names for me like Flyndutchman, Sinktip, James Mello, CouleeFlyFisher and Ceviche and the trailer crew from Cowlitz
I think I saw Oldman twice and he was never on the water
..Thanks to everyone new and old I had a blast.
