Tim – I PMd u. I’ll ping you when i get closer to the date.

[Aaron Otto]

Tim,

May be one of the most beautiful places on our planet. You will have a blast I’m sure.

[Aaron Otto]

Anyone stick in fish yet with the bugs we sent out?

[Aaron Otto]

Simon,

I’ve never purchased used photo gear.

[Aaron Otto]

Andrew – I think we did. Fantastic places huh?

Cameron – ask and ye shall receive. I went back and changed them to 800 instead of 4.

My friend and I have had patterns tied in Kenya and Laos.

[Aaron Otto]

I’m definitely in for the next one – I just got a new Peak vise and I’m ready to hit the bench hard.

Aaron, my girlfriend saw your big ‘ole muskie fly on the table yesterday and nearly keeled over – she thought it was a big bug or something.  That must mean it’s good for the fish…..

Mark- Big fish eat it.

[Aaron Otto]

Awesome flies guys thank you!!
Aaron, whats that fly you tied called?

Stick a Big Kiwi Brown on it and you can name it!

Nice photos and story to go with them..

That south fork looks like a great little stream, how did you go with the brookies ?

David – brookies were small. A monster was 8 inches. We didn’t stick around very long.

Paul – will see you tomorrow.

 
Tim – Catching a flight today to meet Paul – I’ll be back in August, I’m going to organize a meet and fish at my folks house in Stillwater area. Sorry didn’t work out this time.  

Here are some shots of my father, my son, and myself fishing on the stream where I learned to fish. I’m sorry for photo quality, the PDA has been dropped a few times at this point.

Hudson looking cool.

Version 2.5 getting it done.

Grandpa and Grandson doing it old school, swinging a wetfly.

And the hookup

The hero shot

The release

Second Fish, this one on a caddis.

The release

Most likely, the last time all three of us will ever fish together again.

BlackBerry is dead from being dropped in the water too many times and it’s time to go home.  Next week, live from Yellowstone.  Sigining off, from Minnesota.

Guys- I think Z wanted to hold the next Fly Swap, why don’t we hold off a month or so on the Carp fly exchange.

[Aaron Otto]

You’re right Pablo, sorry, had too many cocktails last night.

[Aaron Otto]

Group;

First one to stick a fish with the big-ass streamer I sent, get’s to name it.

Simon-let me know when you get the bugs.

[Aaron Otto]

Tim I’m fishing Yellowstone this weekend – I’ll let you know.

[Aaron Otto]

Scot,

I threw in random patterns into everyone’s boxes.

[Aaron Otto]

You bet D.

[Aaron Otto]

D-

Here is what I was thinking. Your photo struck a chord with me. I’ve been working over a story for a few years now.

[Aaron Otto]

So Dusty, by no means am I an authority in this arena.
