Jeff,
Considering I just bought a new
Winston LT 8’9” 4 weight, St. Croix Imperial 13’ 7/8 weight
spey, two new fly lines, and a new pair of Simms G3 waders, my budget this
month doesn’t include any hotel rooms J Aside from that, as
Tyler said in his response, it’s not really THAT cold, if you have the
right gear. Warm sleeping bag, a couple of those hand warmers from the local
sporting good store, and a candle in the tent to create the “micro-climate”,
and you’re good to go. Oh yeah, throw in a case or two of beer J Fish on!

Ryan-I thought I was
hardcore.... You had me right in the palm of your hand until you said
"sleeping outside". I had enough of that to last me a lifetime
from my previous adventures in snow camping. "I know there probably
ain't no snow, but I bet it still is really damn co' (that's cold for those
that doen't have my superb poetic prowess?). Bro, if you catch em', you
deserve em'. Go get young man! Jeff

Subject: Seeking
Adventurous Angler for Desert Expedition
Currently seeking an adventurous angler
to join a Desert Expedition.
Date and Time: The expedition will
be leaving Redmond, Washington on Thursday, January 23rd at 6:00am sharp.
We will be returning Friday, January 24th around 9:00pm.
Location: Due to the top secret
rating of this expedition, the location will only be disclosed to the
successful applicant.
What to expect: The expedition is in
search of several remote desert spring creeks that are rumored to contain
trout. Warning: Due to the exploratory nature of this expedition, there
is a possibility that no trout will be caught. See attached photos for
the qualification for this expedition. These photos were taken on
previous expeditions.
Requirements: Only the adventurous
and/or crazy need apply. This expedition involves well over 10 hours of
driving, some of it over rough roads. It may also require quite a bit of
walking through rugged/dangerous country with the possibility of twisting an
ankle, breaking a rod, and slipping down scree slopes. Luckily the rattlesnakes
are asleep. The expedition will be sleeping outside in the desert in
weather that may be cold, windy, rainy, and possibly snowy, expect temperatures
at night to be at or below 24 degrees. A tent and warm sleeping bag are a
requirement. Successful applicants will be experienced in camping,
hiking, wilderness navigation, small creek fishing, angling photography,
reading of topo maps, and be open to new experiences.
How to apply: We are currently
accepting applications via email at [EMAIL PROTECTED].
