So the PFF 40 came and went. First time I've been to Camp Stonefly and it's a pretty cool spot just off the main drag in Elizabethtown but a whole world away. Arriving late Thursday afternoon I was able to set up my tent close to the water in a convenient location. The rest of the crew had gone into town for dinner but returned shortly after I arrived.
Fished Friday and Saturday
Photo dump.... maybe more words later...
