Think I'm going solo. Don't really know anyone, be nice to meet some new people.

[blairwill]

Since there doesn't seem to be a bacon explosion involved , I'll be there..... blair. Four years, I'm still not the same.

[jdfishbum]

I will be there again this year with some cane rods. If you are curious about cane switch/spey rods stop by and give one a try.

Thinking I'll camp Saturday for sure, maybe Friday if I can get away with it.

[SwitchCaster]

Jamey,

I'm camping Friday and Saturday too. Wanna meet up?

[SwitchCaster]

Kinda Highjacking this post but thought it would be a good start.

Is anyone interested in going in half for a full day float with Feenstra? I was thinking maybe Nov 15th or one day that following weekend. Let me know. I already have a call into him and left him a message.

Thanks,

Corey
