I didn't go this year so I got mine from a friend who is a commercial fishermen at Bristol Bay. He lives in Rolla.

Good. I didn't want it to go to waste

I hope someone took the salmon fillets home with them I left in the frig

Had a great time as usual. Special group of people! Fished with Ham Friday afternoon and Saturday. We got a late start yesterday because someone went to the wrong access - Wildcat instead of White Hole. I hate when that happens - but when you don't google and go on your memory that's what happens I fished pretty much the same thing both days - 1/16th or 1/25th oz sculpin or a black/sculpin jig with 2 pound line. Ham said we caught over 100 each day. He has the clicker so I'll go with his numbers. I had 4 cutts and 2 smallies, rest rainbows. Fished Rim Friday, White Friday first half and Buffalo the last few hours of Saturday. Buffalo was the best - best bite and bigger fish. I had one brown at Buffalo and the 2 smallies. There's plenty of fish in the river, that's for sure. We fished anywhere where there was current - faster the better. Head of shoals, in the shoals, tail out, behind any rocks and wood - there was a fish or two. I just wonder how this situation is going to help the fishery - I think it will grow bigger fish. Less fish, more food. Ark needs to figure out how to help those trout not get caught and let them grow. They need a better food base and protection from the meat eaters. And like Ham said, protection from the chummers-bait/catch-and-release guides. This will, though, hurt businesses on the river. I talked to Miles and he said they took a hit, and he's worried about 2026.

Wanted to repost this link so it's easy to find. https://wl.donorperfect.net/weblink/WebLink.aspx?name=E358532&id=120&fbclid=IwY2xjawOEh8VleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFiallVU1Z0VWpYTU5keXBpc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHlnXpQKa16bhXwfb26nkBJ71o7vGN6SXwMlIzodkf4pYhNAOKRRSW2cLCCsg_aem_wRl3-ZpU2T9RjS43ycUeKA

I need mailing info please

Did you get all these shirts?

Need an address please

It's the weekend of January 30-31 50% off all rooms, stalls and boats for those participating. When calling for reservations, just say you're attending Taneyfest.

I'll be there about 11-noon tomorrow. Who should I call that will have an open seat in a boat?

I'll probably stay with you there.

I ordered extras

I can bring a boat but I'd like to wade some too.

Thank you

There's a young lady staying with us - and her dad - that's fishing in the college tournament this weekend on TR. Starting at Moonshine. I've taken it upon myself to help her with some info. Any ideas? Thanks

That's a fun day! Thanks

For reference, here’s my price for the shirts. Medium, large, X-Large- $23.50 2xl - $26.75 3xl- $29.75

ok. I'm making the order. I am getting a few extra so hopefully everyone will get what they want.

John, What size and what's your last name?

But do you want a shirt?

And what size for your wife?

For those who need theirs mailed, give name and address and we’ll ship.

So there are guys who have gone to jigfest in the past that probably doesn't look at the forum. Like Duane Doty, and others. I want to order enough shirts for those who might want one. I will order extras too but the sizes will be limited. Thoughts? I'll get one for the Riley's too.

Sizes and quantity. I can even order extras for those who can’t come this year.
