Well once again Trout Whisper Wilbert has left me speechless ! Wow what a wonderful two days of bliss in Montana with friend Judy and " Best Guide in Montana " David. Having enjoyed the company and guide skills of David I can attest to his extraordinary gifts. Wish I was there !

Paul, If you are going Sunday, February 17th count me in - again if weather is OK for your driving. Let me know when you would like to pick me up. I only have two wheel drive autos so your 4x4 is a godsend. My home address is 5085 View Road, Langley, WA. We are off Wilkenson Road near Comforts of Whidbey Winery / Bed & Breakfast. Thanks Mark ( c ) 360-632-2746

Mark I would be interested in tagging along the next time you fly fish Montana in 2018 or 2019. I have very fond memories of my trips there - Great Falls, Yellowstone and Seely Swan wilderness and the rivers between them all. Would of course pay my way and split any and all expenses. Secondly - would you be fly fishing Ebby Reserve anytime soon for salmon or sea trout ? I am eager to learn more from you and hone my poor salt water skills. Lastly - I saw your recent post on WIFFC where you thought Jim's Winston 9' #8 fly rod and his Burell reel was a good rig. You think it would be a good salt water fly fishing rig for Whidbey Island ? Presently I am using my 9' #5 Sage with Hatchet reel. The Hatchet can handle salt and fresh water. Hope you are good. Mark
