Hehe :D

I used the pack today and loved it! I felt like I wasn't carrying anything at all . Ahhhhhh :)

 

 

just wait til you fish an 8-10 hour day, even your wader straps start to feel like they're too heavy

Yeah just make sure to find one that balances out your setup. Also not sure if you heard but Madriver fly site is done! They shut it down, I guess all the boys could not agree with the direction of the site. ( sucks the site had so much potential ).

 

Again congrats and tight lines.

no, just when you have multiple people trying to do things and pull in different directions, it usually doesn't end well

While it doesn't really matte anymore but truth be told there was more to it then just pulling in different directions but that's all I'm gonna say about that because it's still a sore spot with me

Also, the bolded part in your quote should be changed to "some of"... there were some of us unaware of what was going on, and the actions that followed.
