It's booked. Done. No turning back. Even Howard can't scare me away!! Ha. The Rocky Mountain Frenzy is ON!! RD will fly in on Sept. 29th to check out the fly shops, get her license and do her homework on the rivers. Friday, Sept. 30th...it all begins. Who's with us??? 
It's looking like Sanders (Sean) and Cofisher (Howard) and FlyFishingCrazy (Larry) are joining me Friday afternoon so far. Then we will have the rest of the troops meet up with us on Saturday, Oct. 1st and Sunday, Oct. 2nd. I believe that the Poudre, Boulder Creek, Big Thompson and the RMNP are on tap. (Calling Midgeman! My river reporter!!) It should be quite the adventure. Sure would love to have all of you there, but maybe we will see a few more of you next summer if the OBN tries again with their first big hoopla in Denver! Have you read the recent post by Rebecca??? Funny...such perfect timing for her to write about blogger connections...As we are ready to embark yet on another journey to meet online friends and share bonding and fishing time together. So, let's start the countdown...it's only a week away.
For anyone wanting to fish in some of the most beautiful settings that you can imagine...we invite you to the Rocky Mountain Frenzy. We will have a meet and greet Friday night at a restaurant in the Fort Collins area. Final planning will take place this week and I will email with specifics. (Contact me here if you aren't already on the list) We will have a lot of fun, that's for sure! How many rivers can you fish in three days? Well, come and find out!! (I have personally done 6) Not promising that, but just sayin'...FRENZY ATTENDEES:
DUSTY AND STEPHANIE - ANTLERS AND GILLS
ROD ("MIDGEMAN") - POUDRE CANYON CHRONICLES
HOWARD ("COFISHER") -WINDKNOTS AND TANGLED LINES
LARRY - FLYFISHINGCRAZY.COM

LOOK LIKE FUN??? YOU BET IT WILL BE!! Just imagine Howard swinging that fiberglass fly rod around on the river and Larry sharing some "secret weapon" fly rod that I get to review on when I get back! It will be great to meet Stephanie, the Biology Queen...who has learned very quickly, every inch of the RMNP...Oh, and the "Midgeman" will give me a fast track class on the Poudre with the Czech nymphs...oh yeah! I can't wait...See you all there!
It will be interesting to see how this all plays out. Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteI was going to ask what was written on the bottom of your plane, but then I read it was in a week. We are flat out broke or I'd be coming out there again for this. Please take lots of photos and get that fishalicous chick to show you how to hold a fish properly. :)
ReplyDeleteFF - Glad you came aboard!
ReplyDeleteOwl - I haven't heard a fish complain yet...
Ironically, my nephew is flying out from SLC on the same day...Southwest Airlines...and we'll be fishing. Perhaps a trip up North for some action on the Big T is in order.
ReplyDeleteCA ~ I think that you meeting up with us is a MUST!!! See what you can work out... : )
ReplyDeleteSorry, I can't make it. I'm having my hair done that day...
ReplyDeleteCofisher - I'm sure it won't take that long...haha.!
ReplyDeleteSeems like a great time, wish I wasn't on another outing or I would join you all!
ReplyDeleteThere are fishing trips, and then there are fishing trips! This one sounds like the latter, with plenty of fellow bloggers to make it more than interesting...can't wait to read all about it!
ReplyDeleteTroutdawg - We will maybe make this an annual event...so hopefully, the next round!
ReplyDeleteBrian - What a great group of people we have here...it should be memorable to say the least!
I am really looking forward to this. Should be a fantastic time!
ReplyDeletejust saw that, I will be up in RMNP on Sunday with fellow blogger Jason Klass of Tenkara Talk!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a blast. I'm headed to Belize for a small contract immediately after this and am too much of a newb to Rocky Mountain fly fishing (or really fly fishing at all) to have anything to really contribute much to the merriment but it does look like a ton of fun.
ReplyDeleteSanders - I believe that my face will be sore from laughing!
ReplyDeleteGFF- We might run into you...be sure to say hi if you see my RD hat!
T.Brook - You never know...it could turn into an annual thing! ; )
ReplyDeletelookout for two guys waving tenkara sticks, it will be us! we'll probably be somewhere in the general Big Thompson/Horshoe/Roaring River area.
ReplyDeleteLooks like quite the trip!
ReplyDeleteGFF - Yep...we will be there Sat. afternoon. Tenkarrraaaa!
ReplyDeleteFunk - Can't complain about four straight days of fishing! : )
Awesome. This is going to be sooo cool to read about. I am quite jealous :) Have fun!
ReplyDeleteFYI... the SECRET WEAPON is wrapped in Army black & gold and has a Gun-barrel Blued Nickel Silver reel seat with Gun-stock Walnut insert! It's only a med/fast action, though. The big gun is being built right now and I'll have Troutdawg do the first test on that.
ReplyDeleteI am excited about meeting everyone. This will be EPIC!
D. Nash ~ I'm sorry to make you a little "green" with envy, but I promise that you will enjoy the reports from all that attend!
ReplyDelete(I personally can't wait to see the first tangled line...who will it be??) HAHA!
FFCrazy ~ That sounds like some loaded up weapon alright!! Let's catch the "Big One" with it!!
DM - got your note on fishing the creek on Saturday. Funny, I was actually talking with Larry about that. So, I'd love to join all of you. 9am on Saturday at RMA in Boulder?
ReplyDeleteKyle ~ Yes, that is correct for Sat. Glad you can join the FRENZY! I will send you an updated email...
ReplyDeleteI'm in. Where's do we gather? Comfortable waters.
ReplyDeleteGary ~ Lucky I saw this...I'm flying out early tomorrow...just sent you an email.
ReplyDeleteTaking off! The Frenzy is on!
ReplyDeleteIt's great to read about people with similar interests finding each other online. You and your friends are living, breathing proof that the internet is a great place to connect! Thanks for sharing your story.
