Gone For a While..

Posts: 378	Well guys the time has come for me to embark on a two month journey through Montana and Canada's Rocky Mountains. Although I enjoy hiking and camping, I have never done anything this strenuous. Most of the hike will take place throughout western Canada (in the 'rough' Rockies). I wish you all luck and happy fishing, and I hope that when I do finally return, stories of pigs and good times fill this site. Oh, and in case any of you were worried about me going into panic attacks from not fishing for this long of a time period..I already have the rig set up to fish every time the opportunity comes (which will hopefully be every couple of days). Wish me luck guys, take care, and most importantly, TIGHT LINES!!!

Check for hanger's and dead rotted trees before pitching your tent (winds can be violent and come at any time). You probably know this stuff, but ... just in case. Hey...do you happen to have Rich Osthoff's book on fishing RM lakes? It's excellent.

I myself am planning a much shorter trip to Isle Royale National Park later this summer and will also be taking along fly rods, of course... Take lots of photos to share with us!!! Jonathon
	No matter how big the one you just caught is, there's always a bigger one out there somewhere...

Jess...If you happen to run in to my girlfriend, up that way, April Vokay, tell her I haven't stopped thinking about her since the Rod Show here in Detroit last March...:) Seriously...Have a great time and as Paul was hinting...Common sense always belongs in your pack-pack somewhere...It could come in handy between all that fun you'll be having...Don't forget your bear-bell and a good can of mace...You won't need the mace, but it can offer some peace-of-mind... Wish I was tagging along... Spence

When I was camping at the Third Meadow of Slough Creek in 2004 I told the guys there that they had nothing to worry about from bears as they slept...I told them that I have been a vegetarian since 1970 and the bear would walk in to camp and take a wiff and say, "Yum! Corn fed." Then walk right passed them to me...Ouch! :) Turned out...I was the only one in the group to see a Grizz on that trip. I had, what I call the lost years, during my junior high school days here in Detroit. I ran with a pretty wild group of young wanna-bees...We had a kid in our group named Rick who was a bit over weight and smoked. Probably since he was a three year old...When we found ourselves in situations where we had to run, we always knew that Rick was our sacrificial lamb...He could only manage about a half-a-block and jumping fences wasn't his forte...:) Spence
