Can't you just record the game and watch it when you get back home?
Or just come fishing with me and I'll get you back home in time for the last period.

Sorry, Nutterbug, I really don't care much for the pub atmosphere...

Understood.  But still an idea worth putting forth to the group.

Rod and everyone else, you in?  Pick a pub and book a table?

Looks like a good friend reminded me I need to do this. See you all around 9am tomorrow.

So this idea fails?  I thought it would be a good way to get together and toast and celebrate a job well done, even if you're not into hockey or the pub atmosphere.

I guess you win, milo.  Sure you want to stay out so late though, since it's supposed to rain tomorrow?

Good to see the Mayor of Chilliwack and her husband take part at the cleanup as well.

For the tourism and business that the Vedder fishery brings to their town's economy, I'd say they owe it.

Yes you are correct but it is too bad more other users of the river do not take part but saying that anglers that do not attend the cleanups do pick up garbage when they are out fishing which is much appreciated.

*sigh* does fortune come with fame??  ;D

Personally, I think it was a great day, our section had less garbage than usual, so maybe people are finally starting to pick up after themselves. The rain held off until we were done, and getting to eat lunch in the VIP section was quite a treat.... ;) lol

Nope. Milo and I threw some flies but after tossing flies for 3 hours I got bored and went home. He stayed with no fish to hand but put in another 4 or 5 hours after I left. He is a more diehard steelheader than me. I am just anxious for my stillwater fishing. I cant think of steelhead knowing the lakes are just coming off now.

You know I am more than glad to do my part Chris. Always wanting to help and give back. Its a pleasure.

Thanks to all that took part.
