2004 Western Conclave
Okay guys, mark your calendars because July 10-17 (a Saturday through Saturday
affair with the Friday before and the Sunday after being optional) will mark ROFF's return to the Madison for the 4th Western Conclave. The area I am throwing this in is the Upper Madison since the crowds aren't as bad, the scenery is better and it will keep everyone together in a small stretch. There are two FS campground right across the road from a cabin rental place about four miles upstream from the Slide Inn, which would be a good place to rent a nice cabin or hook an RV up at. I'll add more info later after doing some more research on accommodations. I can't remember the name of the place across from the campgrounds, but the Slide Inn is a nicer spot IMO. The guy who owns it is a kick ass fisherman and gives damn good advice out of his fly shop there at the Slide Inn. The cabins look nicer and they have a large cabin that would be great for 3-5 guys to rent together. I'll try to get up there in the next week or so to take some pics of the rooms at both places, the campground, the area, etc. Areas to be fished range from what will be open in the Park (about a 20 minute drive) to the Upper Madison, Gallatin, Henry's Fork, Hegben Lake, etc. It's pretty damn close to that nice brookie spot I took some of the people to during the HF clave where we caught some big brookies. I know we will have at least one boat for float trips. As I said, I'll post more in the next week or so. -- Warren (use troutbum_mt (at) yahoo to reply via email) |

well...somehow, this announcement of western 2004 failed to appear on my
computer until tonight...and then not until after i'd posted a sarcastic note to you somewhere above. of course, i've just read a bit about the box-cutter incidents on southwestern airlines, and i just finished a trial involving a demented airline pilot...but, a year might allow me to gather the courage to mount an airplane west again. lookin forward to it... so, count me in. be sure to scout a few decent bars as well. don't worry about the bowling alley, though. jeff Charlie Choc wrote: On Thu, 16 Oct 2003 05:27:01 GMT, daytripper wrote: And you almost landed it in the right group, too ;-) Well, you could have cross posted your top posted reply to the right group. g On Wed, 15 Oct 2003 22:09:47 -0600, Warren wrote: Okay guys, mark your calendars because July 10-17 (a Saturday through Saturday affair with the Friday before and the Sunday after being optional) will mark ROFF's return to the Madison for the 4th Western Conclave.
