Nice To Meet You Justin

[Ham]

My wife and I assited with a float trip on the NFOW yesterday. We used Sunburst Ranch as our outfitter. I didn't make the arrangements, but our youth director was impressed with how easy Sunburst was to deal with. The boats were in good shape and properly equipped.

I enjoyed meeting Justin and chatting with him for a minute or two.

I enjoyed his two dogs as well. Friendly and fun to watch them scamper around. I got worried that one of them was going to get run over by one of our trailers so I snatched him up out of the way. The dog stayed calm, but did look at me like I was crazy when I put him back down.

Sunburst has Jackson Kayaks. Justin says that h has some Coosa's on order. I plan on renting one when he gets them in.

River looked great. A little color to the water, but that seems to be the deal with the heavily spring fed rivers. Good flow. Lot's of baitfish and crawfish.

I sW decent numbers of gamefish as well.

One more thing, is there a salmon fly hatch on NFOW? I some a giant bug. I got a pretty decent photo of it that I will try to upload to photobucket or some such soon. I did a forum search and didn't get any hits.

I think I had an Eastern Collared Lizard run across the road in front of the truck on the way in Monday morning.

Ding Ding Ding! We have a winner. I've seen (and felt) the Hellgramite, but that was my first time seeing the adult stage. That be a mouthful for most trout.

Glad to know you didn't make arrangements, I was wondering if we had forgotten put you in the computer somehow. Glad you had a good time, seemed like a good group, hope to see you again soon.
