If you have any small plastic buckets to spare, please bring them to the meeting tomorrow. They will be used to hold fish that are caught during Saturday's fishing Derby in Williamsville. Some buckets will walk away so don't bring any good ones.

Thanks…

Dan Scheda & I are getting ready to go after the p.m. & evening bite at Bear (again). And again, this could be my Date with Destiny. My last date with destiny stood me up & we got nothing. Also taking the 5 wt to try some bluegills if the musky bite isn't there. Saw a bunch rising last week & a bluegill on a dry is a fun catch any day.

John P wished me luck last time. Hopefully this time he can get his Pensyl mojo my way. Report to follow, tomorrow.  

headed off to Bear lake in the a.m. with a fly-guy named Damon for a musky on the fly
