Well stated Zach. Could not agree more, and thanks for all of the great content.

Now for irony: I was directed to this story from my Facebook feed.

Best,

Avery Brewing in Boulder is a good bet as well.

Ben,

I found this while trolling around:

It shows you all the access points.

That is a great picture of Walt, and his boat.

[david whitfield]

Good point Jay.

I’ve been counting down the days.

[david whitfield]

Very cool.

[david whitfield]

I agree with Tim.

[david whitfield]

Thanks for the information guys.

Neal,

I’ll do some asking around, and find out if there is another quality guide over there.

[david whitfield]

Neal,

You have a variety of options.

Neal,

I use a camelbak.  Here is a newer version of what I have:
http://www.camelbak.com/Military-Tactical/Packs/Stealth.aspx

I originally purchased mine to bring with me during a tour in Iraq, and I have used if for fishing ever since.  I do not wear a vest though, as I wear a Fishpond hip pack, so I do not have to worry about anything getting in the way.  While the civilian version camelbaks are fine, I have found that paying a bit more for the military grade is worthwhile.  Mine is now almost nine years old, has been through a combat tour in Iraq, and then countless days on the river, and is as good as it was the first day I bought it.  The construction and insulation on the military grade packs seems to be a bit better, and on hot summer days, I fill it to the brim with ice before adding water.  The water stays cold all day and provides me with over 2 liters, plenty for a long day away from the car.

Best,

Dave

Zach & Tim:
Great podcast.

Tim:
I might have missed it in the podcast, but what do you use as bite tippet (If you don’t mind me asking)?

[david whitfield]

Nice fish Mike.

Guys,

Here is some more food for thought:

http://www.publicbroadcasting.net/michigan/news.newsmain?action=section&SECTION_ID=756

Scroll down, and you will see individual links to five different parts of a series that NPR did on horizontal drilling in Michigan.  In my opinion, I think that the coverage is a bit critical and one sided, but at least there is some meaningful information here.

Best,

Dave

While grayling fishing a few weeks ago in northern Saskatchewan, we were eating lunch when we noticed a rod, sitting vertical, about five feet down, stuck in some rocks.

Tim,
I flew Delta from Michigan to Winnipeg two weeks ago with my five and nine weight inside my checked luggage (inside the rod tubes).

Guys,

I haven’t read the article yet, so I have no basis for a comment.
