THE ROCKY MTN. FRENZY IS ON!!! Bloggers Unite!

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.


IMG_4668For 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'...

  2. I 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. :)

    Owl - I haven't heard a fish complain yet...

  4. 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.

  9. There 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!

  10. Troutdawg - We will maybe make this an annual event...so hopefully, the next round!

    Brian - What a great group of people we have here...it should be memorable to say the least!

  13. This 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.

  14. Sanders - I believe that my face will be sore from laughing!

    GFF- We might run into you...be sure to say hi if you see my RD hat!

  15. T.Brook - You never know...it could turn into an annual thing! ; )

  16. lookout for two guys waving tenkara sticks, it will be us! we'll probably be somewhere in the general Big Thompson/Horshoe/Roaring River area.

  17. GFF - Yep...we will be there Sat. afternoon. Tenkarrraaaa!

    Funk - Can't complain about four straight days of fishing! : )

  18. Awesome. This is going to be sooo cool to read about. I am quite jealous :) Have fun!

  19. FYI... 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.
    I am excited about meeting everyone. This will be EPIC!

  20. 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!
    (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!!
