Got it Mike, just haven't responded yet. I will call you this week to discuss some other details and to talk about some hardware I will need to buy.  ;D

Mike, I saw an episode of Chasing Silver this weekend on VS outdoors.....and all I can say is that you sure are a lucky SOB to be chasing after these wicked fish in  2 months.  The footage on Andy Mill's show is amazing---you gotta see it.  The majority of his fish caught was using a smaller 1-0 chartreuse fly he called "the Green Cookie."  On a forum blog, one angler said the fly "the Toad" was the same fly (or very similar).  Hope this You Tube link and fishinsalt fly tying video are helpful to give you ideas for some more flies in your box.

My favorite part is at the end.

"We have exorcised our demons"

"One for 29" Laughing and smiling.

Very cool.
Yesterday, I was at the bottom. I was at the bottom of a valley, in the river. Then my eyes hiked up the mountains to the snow capped peaks. I thought, "When I am at this lowest place I can be, standing in a river, everything is looking up."
