Ifishstock-Thanks to All!!

[letsfish]

Thanks to all who attended or were in the least bit a part in making it come off.
I guess we should first thank God for the great weather,I don't think it could have been any more comfortable.
The host and hostess, Bill and Jennie get BIG accoldes. Their very fine home was in top shape and everything ran smoothly. I envy those that will be camping there tonight! What a beautiful, quite, relaxing place.
Prize contributors: There were so many prizes it was great! There were many happy faces, especially those fortunate children of the chidrens raffle.
To the food preparers and suppliers: This was a "ten" if you had to rate the event by food available.Oh, the fresh crab and , the grilled fresh fish: salmon, tuna and halibut. Great corn, from our man from Idaho.Burgers, sausages, cakes, dishes of this good stuff and that. Oh, it was heaven on earth if you liked to eat!
And then, just the opportunity to meet the man/woman behind the moniker, can't say enough about that, but that like people everywhere Ifishers are some "fine folk".
The few hours I spent there was a breath of fresh air in so many ways. I feel refreshed and like I just had a great vacation.
Again, thanks to all who made it possible. It was an excelllent event and I won't forget the great times.

Couldn't figure out which ifishstock thread to post this on so I chose this one.

Letsfish couldn't have said it any better.

To all unfontunate enough to have missed the event, you missed out.

Just wished I would have had more time to spend visiting other ifisher's!

I'm only going to post a couple pic's because of the time factor and I need to get up in 4 hours to meet UG at the boat ramp and kill some coho and/or chinook and some rockfish. Why does Brad want to meet at o'dark thirty? :grin:

I have a total of 81 pic's at 26 mb's. Jen will be busy editing for awhile if she wishes to post some of these.

Jen needs help locating the owner of this hat.

Day 29

[Born to Fish]

Dan, thanks for the initial set of pics. I was one of the unfortunates who didn't get to attend, and am looking forward to hearing more and seeing more photos. Glad the weather turned out for the best.

Hope you guys slime up the boat real good today, and by the way, congratulations on day 29. graemlins/applause.gif

I want to thank both Jennie and Bill for there hospitality. :cheers:
I had a great time and was one of the lucky ones that got to camp at ifishstock.
It is such a butiful place and so quite and peaceful at night. :sleep:

Pete, It was nice meeting you and thanks for the fly-casting pointers. I’m sure it’s going to help me out.

Marie, nice meeting you and glad I got to stop by your store, see some of the photos and pick up some of that famous shrimp sent. I will let you know how I do this fall using if for the Coho I’m going to catch now that I have the right stuff. :grin:

Mojo, nice meeting you and thanks for the invite to fly-fish up there in Idaho. Maybe next year. :cheers:

Mike.

Great time, great place, great food, great people.
Nobody died from my elk sausages, thank god! I think they were a bit hot for Marie though. Great to meet you all and thanks for the compliments on my little son Wyatt. He loved all the cool stuff he won. I especially enjoyed chatting with the following:
STG rule. you loved meeting Wyatt.
MOJO. I'll take you up on the offer next time I'm in Idaho.
Z's. Thanks for coming up and introducing yourself, enjoy that baby of yours too.
Stew. good to talk with you.
lilnorthfork. My wife and I really hit it off with you two. Great kids you have. Let's toss a fly soon.
Marie. I was just kidding with you. You don't smell like bait scent. Your daughter seemed really nice too, she even served cookies to the gang.
Capt. Kujo. Nice freakin boat big guy! hope I can
hook up and fish with you soon.
Last but not least, thanks to everyone for all the great food. I left the party hurting I was so full! I think I can acutally eat something today :grin:
