A great on-the-scene report from Group B's Tim "Wicker Basket" Aldrich:
" thanks and good day, Ron. The weather is behaving and the water is headed south--a good sign for anglers. Carol and I each have waders and wading shoes that we use periodically in AK. As a matter of fact, I have two pair of waders since I out outbid someone at the MWF live auction in 2008. They are virgin other than having been tried on to check on size. Carol has never fly fished. She has fished with a fly rod, but it was with short lines on very small brooks and using creepy crawly bait. I just had her out in the backyard flailing away. I did it where the neighbors could not observe. I personally plan to bring an array of fly fishing equipment that I have had and used since the 1950's. This might be of interest to some of the folks who have only seen the latest designs and models of rod and reel. I also have a couple of old wicker fishbaskets that we once carried on out shoulders to carry gear and the fish we intended to take home to eat. You sure you want me around??? "
