    Hey John!

    Thanks for your comments on the Roche Lake Area...Now you really got me thinking!!!

    There are just too many options up there and not knowing the area: IE: good camping spots, access, 2 or 3 good fishing lakes etc. it makes it real hard to make a decision!

    I need to ask you if you had 5 days in early june for a fishing trip with a 5 guys ans two tent trailers where wouls you set up base camp?

    Obviously we want to find some big fish but still do not want to be on a crowded lake!!!

    Thanks John

    Hey John. i hope the holidays treated you well! Well, i am now ramping up to organize my 2011 smokin reels fishing extravaganza....pumped! i wanted to thank you for all the input/advice you provided me with last year.

    I have been looking around and am pretty keen on the Roche Lake area. There seems to be some quality lakes ; some easily accessible and a little more remote.

    you think that would be a good spot this year? the more difficult question is timing the hatch and picking the right time to go....based on elevation and the material i have been reading i am looking at late may/early june?

    When you get a sec i would love to hear back from you....thanks John!

    Hey, don't let some fool turn you off offering your two cents in any thread. It's not fair to those who legitimately can benefit from your advice, nor is it fair to you. You're free to express yourself just the same as everyone else, the only difference being that you are most likely to have something much more poignant to say than most. Who knows where that little bit of a hissy-fit came from but if I were you I'd brush it off and ignore it. Chalk it up to either arrogance or inexperience, either way it's inconsequential. Even more so than the thread this all went down in.

    Hey John!

    two days and counting...

    Any last minute advice...i have been trying to google earth the lakes and figure out the spots you had mentioned on Gypsum and Dot but it too hard to figure out. I'm hoping Fearless Fred will be able to provide some maps and will show him the description you provided me to ensure i have it all figured out! He seems pretty keen to offer his services....

    Is the water still cold enough for the fish to be sitting high in the water or will i need to put on a sinking line to get down deeper....

    I assume i will be casting and a slow retrieve on the energing damsels, and for the leeches and K-mart i could either cast and retrieve or a slow troll?

    I still learning how to properly fish all these patterns and would appreciate some last minute tips...thanks John!

    Hey John

    The K-Mart arrived. Thanks! I tied some up last night...being a rookie i had a tough time tying the last bit of hackle around the front of it but a couple tries and i think i will get the hang of it.
    I am organzing a little informal fishing derby for the 7 guys coming up. Which lake do you think would be the best...i was thinking Gypsum?

    Looks like the weather is finally heating up a little. I'm stoked!

    Thanks again

    Todd
