*SPOILER ALERT* This shit happened May 5 FYI.
Ruttness called me last weekend after I thought I had this tigger thang figured out. He wanted in and the plan was to bail on work on Tuesday and pay Tigger and friends a visit. Again, the weird feeling of possibility and excitement enveloped me as I made my way across the state.

Blueline salute.
Weird day, over 7 dozen and not a single brown.
They're there though, ready for the picking. Hopefully this fall, they will have crazy sex and shit...give it three years. d:b
Peace
The search continues...
You dawg....just rapin dat thing to death :laugh:
You need a spreadsheet, fish all eligible candidate creeks on a 2 to 3 year cycle and at least get the odds as favorable as possible. I can think of a solid handful of candidate streams just around my neck of the woods, you have you work cut out for you.
Dude, I hope you catch one soon. Snakes galore in that neck of the woods. See any?
Still dig how you didn't tell me I cut myself till hours later when we were looking at the pics.
Wish that asshat "fishing" with that double dropper and a 6wt would have actually fished the water we gave him instead of trying to watch us all day. Thats where all the Browns went. Still had an awesome time Bru, need to do another trip soon, with better beer.
wasnt terrible. still no wauld tiggerfish... git er done.
