Hey Greg...
Just wanted to drop you a line and thank you again for the great fishing experience and time of comaraderie and fellowshiip on the river. That Saturday may have been the best fly fishing day of my life as far as results and learning...what a day. Here's wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Your friend,

Greg,
Thanks again for an excellent time on the river. Shanna and I cant wait to return and see if we cant hook "the big one" again! After catching those fish, she is definitely hooked on flyfishing, and I am blessed to have such a wonderful fishing partner!
A favor please: keep your eyes open for a lot on the river, either FSBO or by a Realtor. We loved it enough to consider purchasing a river-front lot so that we can one day do as you have done, retire there.
Hope your Christmas season is a Happy, Healthy, and Prosperous!

ps we got the card and CD of the photos yesterday. Your wife is an EXCELLENT artist, and your photography skills deserve an award....thanks for sharing with us.
Greg,
Thank you very much for a great time and the patience you had with us, this is the first time "ever" any of us three have done anything like this together and the fish we caught and missed were all we could talk about back to Conway.
Thanks again for a fantastic time.

Greg, I wanted to say thanks for the pictures and give you an update on my fishing Thurs and Fri.
Thursday I fished at the dam. I started with the dropper rig and didn't do much good. I noticed the fish were rising and tied
on the crackleback that you gave me. I started catching fish with it. This was up river from the narrow section (guard house). Caught 7 there. I then went further up toward the dam where it is shallow. Fish were rising there also and was catching fish until the horn blew at 1. Total of 9 for the morning.
Friday I started at the dam in hopes of seeing some rising fish again. No luck. The river was getting crowded and I decided to go
to the bridge and fish. I started with the single midge and was not having any luck. I fished down stream where the water got deeper and decided to rig up the dropper with sow bug on top and midge on bottom, like we fished on Wed. I immediately started catching fish. Caught 3 in one run and thought I was done catching fish for the day. As I was on the way back upstream, I decided to try another run where guys were fishing earlier. Caught 8 there in about 45 min. I had to get back to the camper to get ready to head home or I would have stayed longer. Both days started slow but ended up being successful.
I was great being able to fish so much in one week. Our trip on Wed definitely boosted my confidence on Thurs and Fri. I was able to use the knots you showed me and using the different indicator is much better than the foam that won't move. I went to the fly shop and got some more indicators and some soft weight. Small things can make a big difference.
Once again, thanks for the trip and all the tips and info. You helped make it a great week of fishing for me. I hope to see you on the river or at the fly shop on one of my return trips.
