No, Mike W., it was not THAT kind of dream , almost as good though.  Asked the boss for two months off and got it.  April and May off to the Clear Lake to fish my way north to "follow the spawn".  It was freakin' outrageous. 8)  What a blast.  I am going to have to make that a reality one day.  Looks like I will try to go down with Stahlman and Dover come spring.  GOTTA get that Clear Lake itch scratched next spring.  See ya all at Long Lake.

Why not go real big and start off in February in Mexico somewhere..... Salto comes to mind. Then maybe March in Lake Fork Texas. April somewhere in So Cal.  May in Clear Lake. Can ya tell I have already thought about this a time or two? Just proves I am as nuts as the rest of you kooks. I plan on doing this the first spring after I win the lotto. LOL

My reality is almost as good as the dream with the exception of the swing through Texas.  Mazatlan in early February for Marlin and Bass at El Salto.  The last week in March I'm headed to the Delta for a "T" and then a stop at Clear lake on the way home.  I might even stop at Shasta for an afternoon.

Oh sure,  as soon as I stop coming to the meetings you start handing out the good drugs...BUMMMMER.  LOL

Sign me up for next year.... for the fishing trip that is,  not the drugs.  Sounds like a great time.
