What a great event Mike! I wanted to drop a quick note and let you know that this years gathering was a blast.

It helped that the weather was on our side and the fishing got better and better. I know you put in a lot of work to make this a success. It really paid off.

RSEAS, thank you and your "crew" for all of the great cooking. Anyone that left hungry must have tried pretty hard... Everyone brought good stuff to eat. This is a great way to try other people's fish recipes too.

The sponsor turnout was a lot of fun and made the trip worth while. My fishing buddy Nancy won the Ken Onion knife sharpener by Work Sharp. That was a great surprise and an excellent product. I can't wait to rip it out of the box and sharpen everything in the house. I appreciate the vendor adding the item and Mike, if you send me a contact, I will gladly thank them directly.

Mack Lures... Great gift bag! I will post a fishing report with photo's of the freebies in action. Of course, I have boat load of Mack's products. The red wedding ring is my all time go to favorite lure. I had to remove a Mack dodger to try the freebie and it caught a nice koke in about 10 minutes on Sunday morning.
(FWG) Fishing with Gary... I have pictures of your lures and dodgers with fat fish on the end too. If anyone hasn't taken the time to chat with Gary you are missing out. What a great guy with a ton of knowledge and he is more than willing to share.
Heavy Beads and Kokabow lure sample... Same thing. I caught several Kokes on the demo lure Sunday. Pics in the fish report. I would buy more of those anytime. (it would be great to have the same lure in red)

Thanks again for all of the effort put into this event. I wouldn't hesitate doing it again!

Thank you, we really appreciate the comments.

Our Sponsors of course would love to hear positive feedback as well. Please feel free to visit their websites and send your comments to their feedback/contact numbers. Let them know how much you appreciated their participation. Hopefully they will join us again next year. (including the guides if you went out on a 1/2 price trip)

I'll post up some pictures shortly.

Glad to have gone. Real cool people and super good food. Your the man rseas!
The guys/sponsors that spoke did really well and I hope everyone took away all the good advice and tricks.
And OMG! What a bounty of free stuff. Unbelievable!
The family had a fun time and we hope to make it again next year. Thanks Mike and Aaron. For throwing this all together and giving/maintaining the avenue to allow us all to do this in NWFR.com
Fishing was good too btw. For me I picked up 3 smallies on Chelan and 2 largies on Wapato.



PIX?

Where are all the pictures? Post them up guys. I'm sure all want to see how it was.

Second year in a row I find out that I have missed the spring fling. :(
Fishing is the life of past, present, and hopefully future. We must keep it a live! C&R!
