YSWP 2012 yellowstone wolfpack

If you see only one fly fishing trip to yellowstone movie this year, make sure it's this one...

The pack is back!!!

What up boys. Looking like we are getting the pack pack for another sept. fishing debauchery. At least some of us. This round will be in Colorado. My Itinerary is flying in to denver at 2pm on Thursday, sept 12. and leaving Sunday sept. 15 at 9pm. looks like Dano "chum hole" is leaving Monday sept. 16. Jake "hammer" is still figuring it out. I "night poops" needed to leave sunday if I wanted to stay married.
So questions for Johnny "pickles" V. are
      1. Where are we going? The dream stream looks sweet but is extremely technical. Very similar to Slough creek. Do we want to go to some smaller mountain streams where the fishing will be easier but the fish will be smaller. The sooner we pick a place I can do some research on the hatches and get us some flies.
     2. Can you supply us with the tents we are going to need? If it is just pickles, hammer, chum hole, and myself one big tent should do. But Occi "double long island' may be joining us as well.
     3. Do you have transportation for us like a big van?
     4. What's for dinner? remember, we will have to set a meat perimeter!
Alas Brownie "rampage" and Carlos "the harvester" will not be able to come this so we will have to catch and drink for two more.
Lets hear from you bitches. Getting pumped! Tight lines

Waiters

Last minute check on gear. If anyone has not gotten their waiters let me know before Thursday. I'm bringing a back up reel, but not the boots/waiters unless someone needs them. And contrary to what John V. says, they are free of charge.

Here she is, big game cart, steel construction, duel solid rubber tires and she will easily hold 300lbs of the slow teams gear:)   see you all soon    Johnny V 

Itinerary change

     getting jumpy. Just found out last night that the road from canyon village to tower is closing on sept 22. the day we get there. this means that tower creek campground is closed for the winter on sat. No big gig. We will go directly to slough creek base camp and stay there. It is only 2 miles away. It is first come first serve so Jake, Brown, Carlos, and myself ( I will call it "the go team") will get there as early on sat. as we can and reserve at least two sites. If for some reason there is a problem there is another campground not to far from there called pebble creek. that will be the back up. Once we get our sites sat morning we will then go to tower-roosevet to the ranger station, get our back county premit, take any classes we need, get our fishing licenses, and call johnny V and tell him where we will be.
    We will not be able to fish tower creek which sucks but we will still be able to fish the yellowstone and maybe do some recon on the slough before we go backcountry.
    The road closure adds about 25 more mins to the drive for both the go team and the slow team but it does force our hand in that we will be traveling right past Mammoth hot springs. So bring your suits so we can take a dip in the only place in the park where you can bathe it the hot springs.
