Silver Hilton, it was great meeting you at the launch this last week. I take it your moniker is that sweet North River you are running, very nice. Good luck and take care, will see you on the river.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Doubletake

Likewise, Doubletake. Actually, Silver Hilton is the name of my favorite steelhead fly. The boat is unnamed yet, though "Brat Patrol" is currently under consideration.

Nice boat, indeed! That Thunderjet you're squiring around isn't two shabby either, and I think you keep it cleaner. Nobody ever accused any boat of mine of looking like it just came from the showroom.

Now, if you just get a fish dog like Susie, we could back down the run together, as a matched set. That would be a curtain of death to remember.

Will be out with the kids tomorrow afternoon, maybe we'll see you.
