Sounds like Will Farrell in "Elf".

Thanks for sharing "Pat and Marty's Alaskan Adventure" with us. Hopefully the Seasons On The Fly tv show will air this season with some new programs.

Current looked pretty swift where that last plane was taking of!

Reminded me of both of my Grandpa's beaching their catch and then pouncing on them!

That last picture had the old "looking for land " look to it. Or da bear! Keep those reports coming.

And I left out the part about "great friends!"

Great fishing and food-a pretty good ingredient for a great trip!

Not to sure about that bear's name.

Any bets on whether Pat out fished Marty or not? Just speaking from my experiences fishing with the my wife.

This should be good-the rumblings I heard were true!

I have the feeling Ness "isn't in Kansas anymore" after seeing some of those photos.

I heard rumblings about this adventure and for once kept it a secret... other than telling Susie, my two brothers and my fishing friends.

Great colors as usual.

No video of Pat singing?

That's a lot of sideburns even in the 70's !

That's the best thing about the cooler temperatures- cuts down on the water sports.

We did hit 3 toad stranglers between Springfield and St. James that had me driving 35 mph on Hwy. 44. I'm thinking Maramac Springs might have taken a hit.

Susie and i decided to miss the grandkids softball and baseball game this past week so we figured a stop at Bennet to fish there the first time this year. Fewer cars in the parking lot and more water than we cared to fish or wade so we left out after 10" or so checking out the stream and hatchery work. Saw one person fishing between the dam and bridge and 3 from the bridge downstream. They had signs posted no fishing on the hatchery building side and we saw a few people supposedly working across the bridge on the rearing pools. Looked like Roaring River would be the next option. I called Tim at his fly shop and he said they had good water and he was correct. We got on the stream around 14:00 and fished the upper section of the park. Susie got a spot in the twin falls area and proceeded to put on a show. She was drifting a scud thru the outlet and catching fish constantly. I found some nice fish at the lower end and caught most of my fish on a bead head fox squirrel nymph. She definitely caught more than I did which is awesome. Got us a room for the night at Roaring River Resort and a pizza from in town and we were good to go. Somebody caught too many fish Thursday and woke up with pain in her right elbow from her "tennis elbow" so I ran to town and got a neoprene strap and now its game on. We fished the C&R Friday and found quite a few fish in the last 200 yards before the bridge where the campground starts. While it was crowded, the fishing was pretty good and I caught a few more than the Mrs. A bead head egg pattern worked the best for the both of us .We did have some nice sized fish and an occasional tuber floating by but below the bridge was another story. There were 4 adults playing cars with a card table and chairs sitting in the middle of the stream in the early stages of getting drunk. Downstream from them where the first good hole of water started was blocked by a group of 8-9 people sitting at the upper end. I'm amazed at what people do anymore and how they think this is okay.

At least you got the words right! And you all got out on the water. The softball and baseball seasons are winding down and Susie and I are going to get away..

One of the lesser known singers named Marty...Robbins, Rowe ,Stuart, Balin and Horn!

The last time I ate "ground hog", it was Jimmy Dean's!

One of those dive bombers?

Nice one!

Nice fish Pete. I was at grandson's 8U baseball doubleheader. He hit like his Grandma Susie today.

Interesting neighborhood you live in Pete.
