·i would be game - if its on a weekend. i suggest fall (early oct.) perhaps to the south platte. i also have some private waters i can get on, but it has a rod fee at $60 per rod. it is a 4 mile stretch of water that i can get as many as 12 on for the day, but at least 4 is needed to book the whole lease.
let me know what is decided.

A get together sounds good....since more than a handful of people might inhibit the fishing on most of the rivers around here, how about a lake outing? Delaney Buttes this fall perhaps? theres more than enough water to go around up there. Or, if we must fish a river, how about the North Platte (in Wyoming) Between the Miracle Mile and Grey Reef theres quite a bit of water, along with places to stay at the Miracle Mile Ranch and others. Both would be overnight trips at a minimum, but the quality of fishing is good and its usually well worth the trip. If there are guys that are still new to fly fishing its also a good place to start, id be glad to work with anyone that wanted some tips. I might even be able to arrange a drift boat, which would be good if there are any people out there that havnt floated before.

October weekend trip sounds unlikely for me, but I'll keep tabs on what date(s) develop.

The arkansas is fine and all but last time i was on Grey Reef my buddy actually used the phrase dude that fish won't fit in the net. Just something to think about.....

The Arkansas is a very fine destination, but thats a very good point about the Reef...
well have to let this thread run a little longer and get a general consensus on where people wanna go...So far Delaney, the Arkansas, and the North Platte all sound like good options

i was at Grey Reef in may and the fishing was good,but the guide was saying that the river gets a lot of moss in it and fishing is difficult after june. i have only been there that 1 time so ,if anyone knows the scoop on how the river is in sept or oct please post that . if it is good during that time it is a great river and the fish are big and very strong. lots of fun to hook and hopefully catch.

The moss dies off mostly in the fall and winter, which is when i fish it the most...in the spring they crank up the flows (usually, on good year) and blow out the stuff that grew the year before. I gotta say the best time to fish the Reef is November-March..less people usually and some of the bigger fish start to move around more...

Ok Rottal here is the question of the day have you ever caught a fish on a dry fly at the reef. I can honestly say I have not but I also had a 2 hour period where a buddy and I hooked a fish almost every cast in May. 2 years ago the water was down I hooked a 29" rainbow on the first cast of the year wading out to the spillway. I figured my year could only go downhill from there. Also if you go in the fall you can pull off a morning of duck hunting and than a nice float when the day warms up.
