[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 2][#002850]Every year, for the last 5 years, about this time of the year, we start making plans for the annual BFT Bear Lake Salsa Boyz party. So, as in years past, I've come up with a date for the 6th annual party.
For those of you who are new to the BFT Utah board and are wondering just what this gig is, here is some info:
Back in 2003, several of the regular BFT Utah members were comparing notes about homemade salsa. We were trying to think of a way to get together to share some salsa and do some taste testing. We come up with the idea of meeting together at Bear Lake and do some chips and salsa taste testing while fishing together. Well, over the years, there is not much salsa up there any more but the name “Salsa Boyz” has just kind of stuck and provided a great excuse and opportunity to get together for some friendly fishing on Bear Lake.
Each year, around about noon, when the fishing seams to slow a bit, we all pull the boats together to eat lunch and share all kinds of eats. Guys have brought lots of tasty treats. Things like salami, cheese, SUPPER HOT peppers, chili, hot out-of-the-oven bread and jam, etc.. It’s always a fun lunch time. This year, like each year in the past, we will see what new tasty treats show up.
Even though the party is never intended to be a “competition”, we always wonder just who will catch the biggest fish of the day.
Here are the basic details for this year’s get together:
[ul][li]Date: Saturday, November 15, 2008[/li][li]Time: Definitely no specific time but most will be there launching just before daylight.[/li][li]Where: Bear Lake ... most will probably launch at the State Park Marina.[/li][li]What to bring: No need to bring anything at all but if you want to, bring something to share with the other folks at lunch time. Sometime around noon we’ll circle the wagons and pass the grub.[/li][li]Who can participate: Anyone that wants to. Come join the fun.[/li][li]Cost: Free ... of course[/li][li]Radio: GMRS/FRS Channel 16 (sweet 16) [/li][/ul]
Some blasts from the past:

Last year, Adam Eakle of Roughing it Outdoors paid a surprise visit and did a video piece on the party. BigFishTackle and Sportsman's provided a bunch of great prizes. Who knows what will, or will not, happen this year.
So to heck with the price of gas. To heck with the crashing stock market. Grab a fishing buddy and come join the fun on Bear Lake next month.
