For sure. I should have been more prepared and given you a heads up. I was bummed it didn’t work out but we’ll figure something out for next time…

Thanks Bill. Don’t I know it. Soon enough I’ll be standing out at bus duty in 105 degree temps. Thanks for the kind words.

That’s awesome. Betters is a legend. I have a couple of his hand tied wulffs as well. I don’t fish those anymore. Sounds like you had a great experience there. Thanks for the kind words.

I fished the West Branch in June of 2004 and was amazed at the beauty and the fishing. We caught the green drake hatch, met Fran Betters, and caught a couple of 18+” browns on one of Fran’s Ausable wulffs.

Beautiful area!

Tony,

That’s awesome. I look forward to getting back up there and fishing again. It was great getting out with you and thanks for showing me around. Let me know how the rest of your summer goes…
