cattny: yes I do live in Ulysses or at least near to it, that Genny creek you spoke of has some nice browns in it. I always liked throwing a Mepps with a blue body and hackel an silver blade #1 for them.
Sorry to hear of your loss. Stop by my homestead next time you're in the area. We'll tip a glass of Black Velvet to fallen but not forgotten family. Then I'll show you a few of my favorite runs in the area. Ulysses
