Geoff,
We were talking about you in late August – Dick Myrick, Sam Brooks, Warren Hamilton, Alan Bullock and I spent a week in Wyoming with Blane Woodfin at his ranch near Pinedale. On more the one occasion the topic of  “past great trips” became our debate for the evening over cigars and single barrel bourbon!  We could all agree that certainly one of the best trips from the past was our last outing with you and the team in the Everglades!  We have vowed that a return trip to Glades will be on the calendar next year – lets start talking about a premium time to return there and I can promise you at least 6 anglers for 4 days.

I am sorry to hear that the Fishabout venture has come to the end – as noted above, we had some great times with the group on that crazy vessel.  But always know this – what made those trips great…were the people that you assembled to conduct them – the Fishabout was comfortable but we came to the Everglades to fish with you Geoff!  I will be looking for James Hall’s book when it comes out next year – sounds like it will make a great addition to the Heagy “fishing library.”

I am headed back out to Wyoming with Lucy next week for another crack at the fat rainbows in the South Fork of the Snake (a two day overnight float) and a driven pheasant shoot on Blane’s newest sporting venture in Idaho – the Lazy Triple Creek Ranch – check out their website.
