What trout assault weekend. Am I out of the loop. You dare assault trout without the Stew. P.S. I resolve to refer to Stew in the third person from now on.

Are you on drugs? Well give me some!
Trout Assault Weekend is planned as standard for the usual holiday weekend in 2009
Unless there is strong lobbying for an alternate location I propose the rendezvous at the new Coach Cave overlooking the WB.
Stew, please fill Stew in on the plan...
