Conflicts with PFF in Shady Valley.

Ralph ;D

Life's about havin' FUN!!!

Al

Actually PFF @ Shady Valley conflicts with our event :P - There was a lot of debate on PFF date this year that we nailed ours down. We are thinking of it as a "stay behind" event for those not going to Shady Valley. Great opportunity for those who keep saying they want to test the Smith to link up with someone to show you a few "secret" spots or more importantly a few "secret" methods.

Al

For you folks who aren't going to the PFF event in Shady Valley we have a deal for you. Lying & Tying at the Bassett Cabin and opportunity to learn enough about the Smith to do some of your own posting on "The Smith Continued" thread. See Doug's post below.

The Smith is fishing good right now. They stocked both sections with 9-12 inch rainbows about a week ago and there is probably one more stocking before June - maybe next week. Tons of browns and the sulphur hatch is on so there is something for everyone.
