Wish I'd been able to meet up with you. Carping has been a bit "iffy" for most of us this year...... but then again, that's why we call it "fishing". But let me tell you of a trip last year on July 4th, it was my 58th birthday. Darc and I drove out to Winchester, Randy met us there. We had to wake up a tent full of hungover kids who'd pitched a tent so close to the launch that I had to nearly drive over them to get lined up to the launch. Birthday boy got to fish on the bow first, as we were crossing the deeper (deep is a relative term, eh, about 5 feet at the deepest point), I spotted tailing fish, made a cast and as the fly sunk, the fish twisted, swam to the fly and inhaled it. Randy, Darc and I took turns on the bow and each had a fish or two in deep water. A new adventure! Good luck and God Speed! Pat Bill –
