Trophy fish citations are a bit different from traffic citations. My mother got a citation for a striped bass from Smith Mountain Lake a few years back and it is a good thing - it means you caught (I think) a 95th percentile or better fish in length or weight. They give you a nice little certificate.

--Hey - we did the fest this weekend for the first time. We couldn't resist hitting Buffalo Creek, VA yesterday, but we were there on Saturday.Highlights:Walt Cary Popper demo - We bought a 4-5 year supply and watched him demo his technique. His "particulars" remind me a lot of Beth's grandfather. Quite a character. I've never seen a demo by a man with known citations from VDIF. When I rode bicycles a lot, I knew a guy who had a speeding ticket framed (43 in a 25 mph zone)....so this is probably similar.2. Dan/John's spey demo. "Aim for the inflatable dinosaur" should be up there with the 180-degree rule in spey casting books. Being a slacker = good. I'm pretty sure if I had a spey rod my life would be over. Like the naked castaway guy.3. Ed Jaworowski - more coffee Ed? Nice guy, high-energy. Slack = bad (casting).4. Hotel cinnamon rolls - I must have stolen a dozen of those things on the way out. The truck was full of 'em. Why? Because it's classy. Luckily, you no longer have to declare pastries when entering VA/MD (as of 2012).5. Hotel light bulbs, soaps and towels - see #4. Class -Oh, I lost a rainbow at my feet at Buffalo on a traditional winged wet! Small guy. I refuse to nymph if I think I can get one on the swing -- Beth caught and released one on a woolly bugger. We had hits along the downstream walk (along the "Kynes" road...whatever it was) but missed strikes. Dave J. - thanks for post on your trip out there. We enjoyed the stream quite a bit ;).Buffalo Creek is reddish-brown more than anything. Nevermind the fish.Gene

Taking my new yak out on Saturday. Anyone care to join me. First time should probably be on a lake. Burke Lake maybe.

I hope some of you will come out to Waynesboro this weekend for the Virginia Fly Fishing Festival. It's going to be a great show. Come and see us at the TPFR tent.
