Trevor, would love to participate again this year but the date is in the middle of my planned vacation time, so I can't give a definite yes at this time. If things change between now and then I will get in touch.

Finally was able to get this scheduled in June during peak Kokanee fishing as so many volunteer boaters have requested in the past. The fishing should be off the hook at this time!!!!!!

Be great to have you there buddy! With your fishing skills I seriously doubt there will be any skunk smell on your boat.

I haven't been on the water at all yet, my brother in law Ed passed away a couple weeks ago and I have been selected as the executor of his estate so I have been and will be pretty busy for awhile, some of the guys on the site knew him, pretty good walleye man and at or near the top of list as far as telling fish stories. Gonna miss him we had been thru a lot together for the past 51 years. [:/][:/]

Re: [PACKFAN] 2018 Utah Disabled Veteran Fishing Event - WET1 - 05-02-2018
Nice, do you have it in storage there or do they rent spots long term? I'm hoping I will be able to do that at Strawberry this year so we can spend weekends up there with the grand daughter.

Received your PM and you're on the list. Thank you sir.
Just a friendly FYI to all. The boat roster is locked for editing because of PII (personal identifying information) that is in hidden columns of the spreadsheet. i.e. phone numbers, email addresses etc. That's why you're unable to add yourself to the list. Just trying to protect everyone information [

They had a storage area a couple years ago at Strawberry we kept our 5th wheel in for the summer but it wasn't in very good shape and not really secured, they were going to renovate it but not sure if they ever did. the one at Starvation is small I liked the one at Yuba the best having stored ours at Deer Creek and Starvation in the past.

Re: [PACKFAN] 2018 Utah Disabled Veteran Fishing Event - liketrolling - 05-14-2018
when I was at the strawberry side it seems like they were moving dirt by the storage area (don't know why) I would like to leave a trailer there

Re: [liketrolling] 2018 Utah Disabled Veteran Fishing Event - PACKFAN - 05-14-2018
they told us two years ago that they were going to redo the dry storage area so maybe they have started renovating it.
