2. Deep Creek Fly Fishers ( San Bernadino)
3. Southern Sierra Fly Fishers (Kern Valley)
4. South West Council Federation of Fly Fishers ( Orange County)

Congrats to all who made it and helped out in one way or another! I wish I could have joined you all, but continued problems with blood clots in my legs have all but immobilized me for the past few weeks. I'm hoping to be back on the river by spring, maybe sooner. However, I'm glad to see that so many people were able to make it, that picture in front of the Troutfitter's is great! As for El Jacalito providing the food, well, I know where I'll be eating from now on. Maybe they will start stocking the beer from the brewery? Grin

Very good Turn out, Wished I could have attended, but that work stuff sometimes gets in the way... Wink

However, in the Top Picture, isn't that a Cardboard container for "beverages" laying in the gutter in front of everyone???!!?? I certainly hope that was the first article of Trash picked up.. Wink

Very good on the Big amount of Trash removed from the River.. Smiley

... Now if we can just get the Slobs who leave it to STOP DOING THAT, Things will be alot Better... Wink
