Annual Biscuits & Gravy Opening Day

[Steve Smith]

It’s that time of year again. Regular trout season closes Monday October 31st and opening day for “Catch & Release” season opens Friday November 11th from 8AM till 4PM Friday through Monday. As has been our tradition in the past five years, Bob Garrison and I will sponsor Opening Day biscuit & gravy breakfast and noon hot dog feed. We will be cooking up biscuits and gravy at 7AM opening day morning at the last campsite in the “Fly Only Zone 2” near the Old Dam and Ball Park. In case of inclement weather [as happened last year], we will move to the sheltered picnic area on Hwy F. Then around noon, we will be grilling hot dogs for lunch up by the hatchery pool. We will move to the shelters at lunch too if needed. Donations are not required, but chips and condiments for lunch welcomed. Just look for a red Ford Escape with “O-GRAT1” tags. We’ll be looking forward to seeing everyone again for the opener. Freinds and families welcome and ignore Tim Homesley’s [TIMS FLYSHOP] rumor that we grind up roadkill for the sausage and dogs. Garrison just uses the hides for his hats that I hope he leaves at home this year.

Looks like cold and dry Friday morning for the opener with lots of water. RR was flowing pretty heavy last night with a lot of water coming out of Dry Holler

Can't make it that early for breakfast, but will be there for lunch! Will also need to tie some heavier jigs it looks like.

It would be great to have you Ollie. Don't forget we will have lunch up by the hatchery
