Hoping to be there, may have to drop the wife off at work first. She will be mad that she will not be able to fish this year.

Thanks Rich and others for coming out to fish the tourny on such a rough weather day. Man it was Rainy and cold!  A young angler named Michael Novak won it with a Steelhead 23 1/8".
Second Place was Randy Hall with a Coho with no third place fish caught...    The water was muddy ,fishing was dead...to bad I had heard of limits all week long leading up to Saturday. That wind Friday really stirred it up and the cold rain didn't help either.

I managed to land a small sucker and I lost a nice fish( steelhead) I had on for 2 or 3 minutes.

Cooked up some brats in the rain and still had a fun day .  I enjoyed fishing with all my friends and meeting new ones.

The bite should be back on when The trail clears a bit.

Saw twp guys at the end of the pier on Saturday and helped land a brown for them. It was over ten pounds easily. They ended up with six keepers (two people): several browns; small steelhead and one or two coho (one really nice for a spring coho). Asked them if they were in the tourney and they replied, "What tourney?"  There are still fish out there.

The FOF people do a good job and what a great cause. Can't wait to enter it next year.
