Caught the Bug
Glad I didn’t have that next cocktail...the effers changed my gate at the last minute to another section of the airport...just made it

So annoying . This week delta delayed my flight by an hour home from Atlanta . I went to a bar with a coworker and we ordered beers and dinner . 30 minutes in they changed the delay time and it was boarding so had to pay and leave without eating . At least sucked down an IPA [emoji36]

That’s going to be an amazing run! Are you doing fly in day runs from the lodge. If you do or the lodge is close enough to Margo Creek near brooks lodge, that’s one of the most amazing runs I’ve done. Its a big slot canyon with water falls and tons of big bows. But there are a bunch of bears so you have to watch your back.

Damn, gorgeous bows. That pike is massive. I can believe his teeth didn’t cut the tippet

I saw him in the shallows near the bank; at first my heart jumped thru my chest thinking I just saw Godzilla Bow...then I realized it was a pike; I made a perfect cast just in front of him, bumped his nose with the streamer...he opened his mouth and I hooked him in the end of his upper jaw. He was our dinner that night.

Sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good...
