Looks like we will have a total of 12 for this year’s trip with 3 new Louts joining the gang. I am also reporting that one of the new Louts is a martini drinker so it will be a nice change of pace for some of you stuck in the singlemalt rut. After all variety is the name of the game this year as we’ve moved from a single hatch (Hendricksons) to “Bug Week” simply to satisfy our collective need for diversity - let’s embrace the change! And also, a hearty welcome to our three new Louts. I’ll nail down the final figures soon and let you know the new totals for the trip.
By the way, Little Black Stoneflies are out right now so head to your favorite stream for some surface action in the warm afternoons. Look for me plying local north Jersey streams on Saturday if we don’t get blown out with the rain that is predicted for Friday.
