Hey Danny;
Thanks for the reply, no there's nothing that exotic going on here, phoenix is just the name of my HB, and i thought it would be a good nick.

Welcome to fishin.com Phoenix and darn good lookin' fish! This board tends to be habit forming after awhile, it is for me anyway. The first thing I do Monday - Friday when I get to work is check out this site...Lots of good guys here, lots of good information...and sometimes lots of good clean/weird humor (correct fishgurl?)

Some elderly friends made a whole roll of 35mm at the dock that afternoon when i came in, i didn't have a camera in the boat, sorry to say during all the excitement, they forgot to remove the lens cover, think they had had a few! I have some pics, not very good ones, after i got home but she had already died and lost her color. That is not a replica by the way, it's a mount. there is a differrence.

Hey Jeff;
I think Doug and Paul are the heroes of this fall, i caught a few but they were on 30 to 50 a day in Lick Run, suspended in the middle.I think my best day was 15 or so, water was too warm, they just never bit like they had previous falls for me, but Doug sure found em. What happened you guys didn't come , or did i miss ya.
