Fellow E-11ers:
Soon, like me today as I prepare to leave for Montana this Thursday, you will but hours away from joining us in Montana. As you prepare to do so, please remember the following key items:
1. Camp List. Go to Der Blog (www.montanaextravaganza2011.blogspot.com ) to our May 12th posting and you can print off this important “to bring or not to bring, that is the question” E-11 document.
2. Polarized Sun Glasses. These are an absolute “must have” item, as without them you will have but a fraction of a chance to locate your floating flies and react to “the take” by Der Fish.
3. Guide Gag Gift. Day One when you meet your guide for the first time, our traditional “hi, how are ya” is the most outrageous guide gag gift that you can imagine. Over the years we have had some beauties, as seen in Group Two by Doug “Popeye” shipped complete portable latrine system (complete with a lure embedded toilet seat) and Group Two’s amazing “Expand-A-Fish”—a fish measuring device that expanded as needed (up to 42”, as I recall). Bottles of wine and hooch are readily available substutes!!
4. Hawaiian Shirt. Fishing Day One for each group is Hawaiian Shirt Fishing Day—a (traditional) Double Up Outfitters fishing hat goes to the most outrageous of the bunch!
5. Waterproof Boat Bag and Rain Gear. It is still raining in Montana, gang—so much so, that Noah himself is again building a large vessel to fish from. Bring ‘em both.
6. Extra Space. As with the prior eight Extravaganza, we intend to treat you extravagantly during number nine, E-11; so leave plenty of space in a bag for more items to accompany you upon your return, or, for you returning veterans from E-10, just put the bag we gave you last year empty into your suitcase and that will serve y’all just fine!
Group One: You are now just ten days out, so the above is more relevant than ever; and, Group Two: you are in the on-deck circle!!
Best all in the nearness of it all,
Rock Creek Ron
