Ok I have to post now (for the first time).

WOW what a fabulous trip. THANK YOU VERY MUCH JACK for putting this trip together. Thank you Bud (and wife) for allowing us to stay at your place and Grant for your patience and space at the Trap Club and to the rest of the motley crew Ron, Rick, Ray, Stu and Dion........thanks for the memories boys. I'd go fishing with you guys anytime.

There's nothing like hanging out on an island in the middle of the Columbia with rain coming down and thunder and lightning directly above and catching some fish (eh Ron) waiting for the pump to arrive! Or evening spey fishing at China Creek in a black cloud of caddis. Going off exploring on my own and finding beautiful fishing spot in Brilliant at the confluence of the rivers. And swimming in the Kettle (ruining the run for you guys) cause it was too dam hot to fish!!

Thank you to all. I hope to do this again.
And oh Stu..............no posting phat picutres ok!!!!!!!!!! just kidding (not)

Until next time..........
Christine
