Tully

I had a very sucessful morning on the tully today. Many fish up on the surface with 4 fish falling victim to my trico offering. Planning on heading back next weekend. Any takers?

New Blog

While checking out the status of the Tully for fishing this weekend. I came accross a noteworthy blog. I have added it to the list of Minion approved sites. Here is the link: http://www.tcoflyfishing.com/TCO_Fly_Fishing_JakesBlog.cfm

Enjoy!

Green Drakes

Although we failed to take any pictures of fish we landed we did manage to have this fella pose Tom displays our number one favorite hatch on Penns Creek from a week ago

Better late than never?

Bacon Sunday?

Saw these shirts on the web and thought they were way apropos for some of the Minions.

"Bacon is like a little hug from God."

"Body built by bacon."

"Bacon, the gateway meat."

"Keep calm and eat bacon."

Memorial Weekend Update

Due to lack of access to an acceptably operating internet interface device, the Memorial Weekend reportage is woefully behind schedule. Please accept my apologies and the token of solace displayed below for your viewing pleasure.

This photo depicts Double D cutting off the excess material at the top of the worlds most awesome fire ring while Bear performs fire watch.

The First Annual Minion Home Brew Tasting.  Depicted right to left are; a fine Belgian Blond, a full flavored Brown Ale and a nice Belgian Trippel.

Some other samplings from the weekend incllude this nice Brown Trout,

a particularly difficult Brown fooled near the 17 bridge,

and this Rainbow which fell for a Challenged Sulphur at the Noisy Weimeranner Pool.

All in all a fine weekend out for the Minions who were able to attend.
