No major concern for the Steelers or Cards ... except for being included in the debate/post-mortem on Monday.

I will be there and i just want to say thanks to all the of the anglers like MX19 for being willing to share they're knowledge and time with us appreciate it
Were do you guys plan to meet ? That way i can be really far away I'm kidding, I'll be up there probably doin some fishin or just bummin around. I'll be sure to say hello if i see ya all.
Looks like were going to have a good group of guys...I will be parked under the big tree in the middle of the big parking lot at the bridge..I will be there at 10am...This get together is all about you guys.what ever you want to know or learn , I will be more than glad to share... see ya guys there mx19
It was good to meet all you guys today. Thanks again to Steve for putting this thing together.
I learned more in the few short hours than I would have in a year on my own. It was also pretty cool to see the fish on redds at Putah.
I noticed today that they will spawn almost anywhere they can. It just goes to show you that every species is different and when you think you know, you find out you really don't.
Steve Steve Paul Alex Ricardo Rich Ed (remembered )
Those are the only names I remember, but I think there is one or two more
It was good to meet all you guys. Thanks again.
btw, I got the cabin squared away so I will be fishing Putah next Sat and Sun.
Good Stuff Steve! Thank you very much for spending your day with us. I learned a lot as well ... confirmed some things I suspected and disproved some myths I held true.
I ended up NEEDING to wet a line afterwards. Went well downstream of the bridge. I enjoyed watching a pair that was in a spot I would never have suspected prior today. With the new knowledge, was able find "feeding" candidates upstream of them. One vicious hook up that broke me off after I tried too hard to horse it. My bad. Rusty. Otherwise, very slow for me.
AWESOME mayfly hatch in the middle of the day.
Got in the water for about 2 hours, one hook up. Made it home in time for halftime intermission.
My kids got a charge out of the "bat" story! Wish we had gotten photo's ...that was cool! We actually had one fly into a condo we had rented in Tahoe one summer. That was funny too.
Great to meet all of you folks! You did better than me Rich. I can only add one other. I think I remember meeting "Chris" ??? What a nice bunch of folks.
It's hard to believe that this (spawning season) plays itself out, under our noses, every year.
Thanks again Steve, that was an educational outing, and appreciated!

I missed out ,our superbowl plans changed a bit so I was not able to attend but it sound like there was pleanty of help to go around.Thanks for those who participated and helped. Bono
You can add "Matt" to the list. Thanks MX for the instruction, especially "reading" the water and pointing out the multiple types of redds one can expect to encounter.
I learned quite a few things. I was reminded most of all to simply slow down and look where your going. Take time to read the Creek. Thank you Steve. It was Great to meet you all down there on Sunday. Cheers, Paul
Iam glad everyone walked away with some sort of new knowledge....I have to thank steve (sk60) for joining me.He's one smart guy full of info...Hope to see you all on the creek ... mx19
