we then went to see water going over the spillway at Pathfinder resevoir, something that hasn't happened in 30 years. the river normally runs 2000-2500 CFS this time of year, for the past 3 weeks they've been pushing 8000-9000 CFS to make room for the record snowpack(300% OF NORMAL), Seminoe, the first of the big North Platte river resevoirs is at 43% full, its a million acre foot res. Pathfinder is a million plus and its over the spillway, Alcova, over the spillway, Glendo-98% full, Guernsey-over the spillway------Nebraska---F&^%$#!!!!

Welcome home, Lee! Sorry about slagging you while you were gone. We were quite worried you hadn't been fishing, at all, and you used the fishing trip as a cover for just parking the truck at the side of a river while you downed a number of bottles of rum.

Great pictures of the Pathfinder Reservoir. Our snow pack in local mountains is only about 140% above normal. I hope that's not a picture of the same trout at 4 different angles. I was bragging about how you most likely ate 5 trout while there, and took the rest home. That's before stuwee posted a picture of you falling out the front door of a saloon.

Nando.

 

[laatsch55]

yeah, I saw that. Check "properties" on the pics. More fish pics comin from Jani's camera.

 

[laatsch55]

And "Slagging" me was expected, and you didn't disappoint!!!!

Lee: I would expect no less from my Brothers here if I was absent for a week. It makes the heart fonder.

And the skin thicker.

You`ll have to apologize to Jani on our behalf. I don`t know if she reads any of the commentary, here (Geri does), but I think tomorrow would be a good day for confessions, beginning with stuwee.

Too bad about the high water limiting your catch.

And the skin thicker.

Very clever to shoot the fish pics in grass.....an old trick , hard to say how big they really were without that penis reference

Unbelievable pics of the falls, you're right Nebraska is toast too bad we can't channel some of that towards Chaska

Thats the worst looking Hat i ever saw,,I bet when you buy a hat like that you get a free bowl of soup,,,,but it looks good on you

 

[laatsch55]

Jani's been married to an oilpatcher for almost 30 years, she can give it as well as take it, a true gem.

 

[laatsch55]

that has been my fishing hat for 25 years, before it was my uncles cowboy hat.

 

[laatsch55]

More pics.

 

[stuwee]

Now your freakin' me out, is that Marmmott blowing his nose?? And why do you have toenail clippers hanging around your neck?

 

[laatsch55]

Dude, thats a groung squirrel munching on the paper towel we cooked bacon on. the "toenail clippers" are used to trim the mono fishing line after a knot is tied, the tail is trimmed off, spooks less fish. when fishing with artificial flies you lose a lot and tie a lot of knots.
