Just a short/long note to say I thoroughly enjoyed the FnF weekend..my hats off to Jim Dicken of Fishin.com and Thomas Weaver of HorseCreek Marina for putting on and supporting such a worthy event...... I enjoyed meeting those that attended and most importantly, learning from the best like Bob Coan, Dale Hollow Guide Service, and Steve Headrick of Punisher Jigs.... I fished with my new found friend known as the Smiffster here on Fishin.com who is from Owensboro, KY on Saturday........ I thought I was going to freeze........ Good news is that we both hooked up on a brown fish and got them in the boat with our lerarned skills from the seminar on Friday night.....The main reason I attended the FnF weekend was the fellowship and secondly to possible get to fish DH...In defense of Elwood, I can appreciate his passion to fish while there and am also guilty for not fully participating this past weekend --- I had every intent to attend Saturday evening's dinner and seminar however after getting back to the room and thawing out from a hot shower, my creature comfort instincts took over and I hit the sack right after a quick run to the Dale Hollow 1 Stop to stock up on some FnF Punisher flies and goodies....... I didn't fish Sunday ---Smiffster returned back to O'boro and I decided to head back home..... Again, this was a productive weekend as a result of those who put it on and those that attended...... YES, I met Elwwod Friday night and saw him again Saturday evening when I met a quick trip to DH 1 Stop (got to hand it to Elwood, I was impressed ---he was talking with his family on the telephone and it brought back memories of my days in the service when I deployed and called home to speak with my family and children ...AND what I gathered, the DH trips are deployments for Elwood, weeks at a time but hey, who can blame him when you're Catchin' 5-pounders and not Fishin' for them...
