Great commentary TW. I learn a little more each day 😉 thanks to you

Wilbert- your nickname as Trout Whisper is totally apt as your above post proves. You guys are in for some fantastic Montana flyfishing next week. So envious but I’m there in spirit. Take plenty of pics to prove the stories 😉 McGinn

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
