steel_fish Fry Registered: 11/14/02 Posts: 39 Loc: Arlington	My dad is turning 50 on christmas. His whole life hes been shafted with the combo gifts. He is an avid steelheader and I want to take him on a guided trip for nates. _________________________ steel_fish If there were no chickens...what would everything taste like?

cowlitzfisherman Three Time Spawner Registered: 06/14/00 Posts: 1828 Loc: Toledo, Washington	Give Bob a call. His number is on this web site. If I wanted to take my dad fishing now (he is not alive now) for wild fish, I would call Bob. But after all, I am only "56" now and a retired guide so what do I know? Take your dad fishing, and have the best memories of your life! When your dad has "moved on" you will still have that fishing memory to remember!! Merry Christmas to both you and your dad! <img border="0" alt="[santa]" title="" src="graemlins/santa.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[santa]" title="" src="graemlins/santa.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[santa]" title="" src="graemlins/santa.gif" /> Cowlitzfisherman <img border="0" alt="[santa]" title="" src="graemlins/santa.gif" /> _________________________ Cowlitzfisherman Is the taste of the bait worth the sting of the hook????

Bob Dazed and Confused Registered: 03/05/99 Posts: 6367 Loc: Forks, WA & Soldotna, AK	For once in your life Ryan, you're 100% right! :p Hard to beat the Forks area when planning a trip. You've got four uniquely different rivers in the area that handle rainfall quite differently, so the chances of having one in peak condition are are much higher than rolling the dice on a date in the future for one river Dates are getting pretty scare though (3 or 4 left in Feb or March), so if you'd like one, you should call pronto (although as an X-Mas present you should anyhow . We'd be happy to send out a GC so he has something to open up <img border="0" alt="[santa]" title="" src="graemlins/santa.gif" /> _________________________ Seen ... on a drive to Stam's house: "You CANNOT fix stupid!"

steel_fish Fry Registered: 11/14/02 Posts: 39 Loc: Arlington	Thanks for all the info guys. I think at this point I am going to let him choose where he wants to go. Although I will be "nudging" him in a certain direction. Judging by the responses Bob is the way to go. Thanks again all. _________________________ steel_fish If there were no chickens...what would everything taste like?
