Saw a fisherman a couple hundred feet below me land a fish on a bright red worm and take pictures. I wonder if that was you.
 It was nice cool morning, made all the better by releasing my first steelhead of the year. Was a 10 lb. hatchery buck caught on a spinner.
What time was that?   :)

Nice fish Dave.  ;D

Got your floats, maybe we can meet up on Saturday once you are done with work. Check out facebook and you will see some pictures of what the floats look like. Yes searun17, I have your floats as well.

Awesome thanks Geff.  You going to still be out here at 5 pm tho?  I get off at like 4:45 but could probably sneak out to meet you if need be.  I work in rosedale.

Well if we can not meet I can always drop them off at your house and work something out with $$ at some other point. I got you 4 but if you do not want that many just let me know. I dont mind having a few extras. Joe has stopped making them and I doubt you will ever find anyone that can make them as nice and as durable, so once all the floats that he has(about 150 left)are gone then you can only find them like Chris finds floats.  ;D

Here is the link from craigslist that Whonnock Joe had put up and it has his phone number in it. If there is an issue with picking them up let me know and we can see if I can work something out.
