Hey the photos came out great - that's excellent! John has a nice 24" fish there, and I accidentally released another dockside that was around 26". Carolynn's SMB is around 16" and all fish were healthy. Fishing was ok despite the cold front which dropped temps in NE 20 degrees or more.

Really had a nice time meeting you both - you're welcome anytime. Glad you had the opportunity to catch your first of those species - it's awesome to be a part of that experience.

FYI Carolynn decided to try her hand at fly tying in their hotel room during their stay in NE and she made a gift to me of several. They look great and I'm impressed with her first efforts - she acted like it was no big deal! Can't wait to tie a few on this Fall and get some shots of fish from the flyrod.
