    He will be here in about a week.

    Going to get a couple more hopper patterns
    and a couple red tailed woolly worms.

    Have I forgotten anything for small/medium stream
    Wisconsin trout?

    Make sure he doesn’t have a gun and does have a license.

    I went turkey hunting with him. He was very safe

    with guns.

    “notice” I carried the chair

    Didn’t want anything unusual flying.

    The Cancer Benefit he is speaking for FREE at is buying his license and trout stamp. It will be his 5th time out with me fishing.

    Who else but the Coach would nail a fish like that on a big old Girdle Bug? Great picture Len. Hope you have some nice weather and some good luck.

    Do you do your own tying? If so, those look great!

    Not a huge fan of his or poaching. He wouldn’t be in my business plan.

    Nice looking batch of flies though.

    I really miss him in the Big Ten. There was never a dull moment in the league when he was here. I was at one of the games when the badgers took them to double overtime and lost. Most electric game I’ve ever been to.

    my friend Rich Femling from Rose Creek
    gave me 2 fly boxes and the one below
    for the Coach to try for smallies. Rich filled
    up the box with flies. He saw the Coach on a show
    after smallies.

    Where is the fly that immitates a fat stout nightcrawler?

    Where is the fly for a 3″ chub tail?

    If coach can swing all that big stuff he will catch big trout, especially with you. I was always terrible and pitching big flies, especially weighted ones – duck, chuck, and try not to hurt myself.

    Never could cast even a wolly far enough. Always wanted to learn the secret for a long cast with heavy flies. Seemed like I could always cast half the distance with these compared to say a #18 BWO or #16 BH PT.

    Seriously you have way too many flies for coach. That would be several hundred dollars worth at a fly shop. Glad you have good connections like Rose Creek.

    I wish you guys good luck but honestly you don’t need it. You know the area better than anyone around. Coach probably figured that out years a go.
