There were plenty of people, haven't heard an dependable tag count yet, called the lodge today twice and got a different # of tags sales each time, I'll wait for the hatchery guys to call tomorrow, I will get the actual count from them.

Jerry, super at the hatchery told me it was 2923, 2295 adults and 628 kids. That is quite a few tags.

I knew it was busy, Duane and I put on over 30,000 yds of line on in 2 days, we used 9 3300 yd spools of maxima, new spools and used up several that we had started earlier during the C&R season, someday I'm going to try to keep a exact # of line sold on a opening weekend.

Does anyone know a good taxidermist? My friend that came with me from Okla. caught a nice one and he is wanting to get it mounted. I think it weighed in at 8.35 any feedback would be great. Thanks
