Mac put it this way: "Old Soldiers never die,... they just fade away". God bless the greatest generation and our fallen. For your losses we mourn. For living lives shaped by these heroes, we rejoice with you. While afield and afloat this weekend, we will be thinking of your families.

Backtracking the discussion a bit, I noticed the Varmit's John Cougar/Zebco 202 rant.
Juss fer the record...I may have witnessed someone ...who shall be nameless..., wielding the "push button method of angling" with tackle from said Zero Hour Bomb Company...
If we don't get a real shizzle show this weekend, I may be forced to make said fellow bait-chucker known. I'd best see a mandolin and 6 string fer at least an hour set by Saturday.
I am off work at noon Friday and I will be in Kingsport, so the drive is quick to the water. Anybody on the water give me a ring 423-494-9969. E.L.

Yankee, this is a real bummer. My prayers and condolences out to you and your family. It would have been a real treat had you made it down for a good ole ETFFF fling... Been like old times. Maybe we can something figured out in the Spring if not sooner.
Take of you and yours, I will toss a double jointed or a puglisi in your name!

On another side note, it appears I got my sitter situation figured out and I will be coming up in AM with Marmot in tow if all goes well.
What time can we get camp set up? If TVA stays with the current flow schedule it appears they will be turning the water on at noon.

Why yes, I did at one time use a Zebco 202, but that was back when I was young and didn't know better....

Yeah man I was bummed you couldn't make it but completely understand the priorities. I am truly sorry for your guys loss. The good thing is your and your families faithfulness to his promises, Our God is always faithful and promises us eternal life. Now he is Glory, no more war or suffering!

Brian, my sincerest condolences bro... we all definitely understand and our prayers are with you. My grandad passed summer before last, I couldn't be there for the funeral (though I was there when he passed). It would've been nice if I could've been there with family and for closure reasons. He was my mentor and taught me how to fish... Sometimes things just don't work out as planned - man, I was really looking forward to hanging out with the gentle giant once again. Lets hope you can make plans soon for a future showing. Will try to get some pix and I'll sling a double jointed sailfish fly in your honor!

Looks like TVA might have the same schedule as today... they are predicting the same avg. flow for tomorrow as they did for today. It appears they turned on the water at 11am till 11pm. Just a heads up for you boys wading tomorrow. www.tva.gov/lakes/shh_r.htmSaturday looks like a predicted flow avg 830, which should mean less water throughout the day. Petey

I always bring more but never have actually gotten around to putting them on..... Might want to look toward Jermz, he is talking about not showering all weekend. Now I cant judge him for that, but you could

Hey, I just got mine cut too! At least we will look good.. might not smell good good, but we will look the part.
Then stopped by 3 Rivers Anglers and grabbed some tippet. Didn't realize how low I was till I started looking at spools while packing stuff away.
Did hear a good joke while running around...
A caller asked Tony Basilio (local sports radio) what Dooley was before he got into Coaching... Basilio responded "Attorney?"... The caller responded "That is right, he is going to turn our wreck into a check." At first I laughed, then I realized that wasn't funny at all... it was true.
