danc Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Almost exactly a year ago I switched jobs, for personal reasons. The guy that I worked for a year ago (and for 13 years before that) is very succesful, loves his fishing, and owns a float plane or two. Yesterday I got an email from him asking if I'd like to do an Albany river fly in with him in a few weeks. Damn. That sounds like fun. Although he's a hard guy to work for, we've always had a mutual respect for each other. Especially when it comes to fishing. I've done a fly in to the Albany with him before, about 10 years ago. In fact, of the hundreds of people that he has employed over the time that I worked for him, I'm the only employee that he invited to fly north with him. It was awesome. So I'm a bit flattered here. Albany River Walleyes, Albany River trib Specks, and a jaunt to the most beautiful lake I've ever seen in my lifetime, for Lakers. You'd swear that you were in Hawaii when fishing this lake. Emerald blue/green water with white sand beaches and water where you can see 30 feet down. And Lakers one after another. Not big. 3 to 4 lbs. average, although he caught back to back 15 lb. fish last time I was there with him. So, I think I'm gonna take him up on his offer. I just have to get through this weekend first. Heading to western Minnesota tomorrow morning for 4 days of Country music fun. With any luck, I'll stumble into a party or two while I'm there. Damn, but life is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i2cool2fool Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Enjoy. Be prepared for any awkward "I love you man" or "please come back" discussions. Unless, of course, you are open the idea. Suppose that could be a possibility? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nipfisher Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Fishing sounds good Dan. From what I can remember........I had a great time on my last trip to Minnesota. One of my best buds played NCAA Div. 2 baseball and golf at Bemidji State. Actually we went to South Dakota to a country music festival called We-Fest. Was an increddible lineup and Tim McGraw announced his engagement to Faith Hill at the concert and they did a duet. Good times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
