I rec'd the tie from Salmonking yesterday. For those that don't know. I started this tie, regifting several years ago. Members volunteer to host the tie for a month. Once they get it, they take it fishing. On that trip, they take a picture with the tie and a fish. After that you post the pic of you and the tie on the NAFC site and then send it along to the next volunteer. Members added another twist, each volunteer would send the next one a little gift. Initiially, Lipripper volunteered to schedule who was going to receive the tie. Then Turnip scheduled who was going to receive the tie. We're currently on the second tie. The first one was blue and disappeared a couple of years ago. We've got a brown one now and it arrived with a listing of the people who rec'd it since July 8th, 2009.
So who wants to host the tie in 2012? I'll organize it, if you tell me the month you want it. We'll do this on a first come first served basis. In the past, we've allowed folks who've never had the tie get it in preference for those that have hosted before, but I'm not going to be that picky this year. I've got it in January and I've seen some others interested. Stealthfisher says he wants it in April or May.
Let me know. |

Only 3 of us. I'll send it to Stealthfisher for April & May, then he sends it onto mo65 for May through the rest of the year. This job is easy! |

Hey Pete, Long time ! Glad to hear from you.
You are so right. This was one tradition that I was glad and honored to be part of. I am sure we can scare up some other interested parties. |

I am doing fine, trying to get my fishing schedule back on track! The wife is still recovering from the accident from last (2010) December, but I think I may be out of the woods! |

My son and I fished a pond at the camp he goes to in the summer. It's loaded with bass and nice size bluegill. Last year, they built another pond below it and it hasn't been stocked. In October, a buddy and I fished it and moved 53 bass from the original pond to the new one. On Friday, my son and I moved 43 bass and 10 bluegills from the old pond to the new one. The fishing was pretty good. He caught the big fish at 17" It's the one we're holding. The pond is stunted with the average bass at 10.65 inches and the average bluegill at 7.75. We'd catch the fish toss them in a cooler and when we had 15 or so, move them to the other lake.
Above -
My son, Kaden, holding his bass at the old pond.
Above - holding it again at the new pond.
This is me, holding Kaden's fish. I wish all fishing trips were that successful. I gotta say this was one hell of a late winter fishing day. We were in shorts and t-shirts nearly all day. It felt like late April or early May. I'm hoping the fish we put in the new pond spawn, and the fish in the old pond grow bigger!

BTW, there are only 3 of us scheduled to have the tie this year. I'll be sending it to Stealthfisher, for April/May and he'll send it onto MO65 for June, until somebody requests it. If you're interested, post here and I'll send you a PM. |
