Heck yeah Seth! Congrats.

Way cool David! Thanks

Nothing mentioned at it at our meetings this time Jeff. Thanks for asking.

Another Reel recovery is in the books. A super group of participants. Good men dealing with cancer in various stages. This is time for them. Good fishing, fellowship with others dealing with the same situation. Men generally keep things to themselves and won't talk to others unlike the women Pat and I have assisted with. These guys come to this retreat quite but leave quite different. They are moved realizing that they are not alone in this battle. I have a few pictures and Pat has some also she will add. I didn't take as many as usual because we had a photographer that walked around and took pictures. So the first fishing day Kyle and I matched up and fished. He has fished some before and caught several. We discussed methods and worked on his casting. Very pleasant young man of 26 years. While Kyle and I fished we watched River buddy Matt Madura and partipent Eli fighting a fish. That afternoon I fished with participant David. Again another guy that has fly fished before. He brought his own fly rods and reels and flys he tied. He wanted to fish dries mostly. I carried his second rod. I felt like a caddy when I traded rods and netted fish. We talked about many things. We will keep in touch. He wants information on the Wyoming cutt slam Pat and I did. He and his wife want to make a trip and fit it in so he will get my notes on all of that. Some more pictures of the men, Signing of the traveling vests. Many many previous participants have signed these and over the years new ones are bought as the old ones get full of names and are retired, A shot of the ending ceremony and the participants circle of strength,

He is very stealthy; I would recognize that floor anywhere though.

Well done Pete and thanks for the speckled kingsnake picture. We have not seen one of those in our area for a few years.

Oh, my nothing funny about that. Could have been a real disaster. The clueless walk amongst us. Be vigilant, educate and help them if it is safe. Some think they know it all and just run for your life!

It's about time Pete. Bad luck into good luck catching your unicorn. Congrats on your fun morning.

She is always making money on selling stuff. I think you should support this endeavor and give her all the support she needs. Think about it you might be able to retire!

It's working fine, it's just the time of the year when we're all out doing outdoor stuff. The chatter will pick up I guarantee.

Awe come on you tough old buzzard. For all your tales and what you have been through. Let her give you that stick!

Parasites in fish is a thing no matter what you catch other than some palegic ocean fish. If you can see them cook them up! More protein. I do flick out the yellow grub deals in bass. The tip of the fillet knife makes quick care for that. @curtisce should have a good supply of worms now because he makes cervechi out of white bass with no ill effects. Come to think of that he's tall and skinny and this could be the reason. Another deal if eating bass is holding you back . Freeze your tasty fillets for -4 for 7 days or -35 for 15 hours. Then you can eat it raw. Bon appetit 😁

There is a double decker Airbus that is manufactured in Germany, France, United Kingdom and Spain. May someone bought her a one-way ticket to go across the pond?

Good job Seth, OAF members getting it done!

Nice job John! Thanks for sharing.

Way to go you two. The famous team of Dutch and Jeff. Serious men having fun.

YEA Ryan! Well done and thanks for sharing your hunt with us. It will be a week from this Friday before we can try again because of one of our volunteer programs. As warm as it is today here (81) it might be like summer when we get back at it.

Thanks John

Thanks man.

Thanks David 😄.
