Default Where's Waldo?

I was talking with UDII last night and the subject came up of: Minivan.

The forums haven't been the same lately without him. The Brokeback Mountain thread could have taken on a completely different angle had Mini been available for comment.

So, this begs the question: Where's Minivan?

Has he been out on Strawberry catching big cutts since the first available ice went on the lake?

Is he sitting in his float tube fishing a low elevation reservoir located on an Indian Reservation in New Mexico?

Is he at the Mustang Ranch in Nevada? Or, maybe another?

Maybe he's at his trailer in John's Valley, and the locals at Ruby's Inn won't allow him internet access anylonger?

Personally, I'm a bit worried...is Minivan OK?

What do some of you think? Where's Minivan?

Morning coffee at the Greenery with the local retirees, the day warms, a few short steps to the lower Ogden and fishing for 10'' albinos.

Hey Westfork, good to see you post. We were just talking about you last nite, wherein Alan Ward was telling us about a freshwater tapeworm that can grow so rapidly it busts the gut of its host.

Any rumbly tumbly lately?

Minivan. Hmm. Probably shopping for spinner rims for his float tube trailer. Thats my guess.

WOW, you just brought back a ton of memories Westfork. As a kid, I spent many a day tooling around Rainbow Gardens. Jumping from the bridge, fishing below it & hiking the area foothills searching for that pot of gold. Thanks!!!

I'll have to head up for lunch & some fishing soon.

Mini is probably having more fun than we are.

peace

Nothing like peace of mind!

I've got a vietnamese kid that works for me, said I needed to consume large quantites of fermented soy and vinegar to prevent incubation, ancient remedy or something. Anyway, 28 bottle of Kikoman coupled with 10 bottles of Nalleys Kosher Dills (juice only) and I'm doing fine!

Default I think....

Like Howard hughes mini took a night out to one of those establishments in the Neveda desert.

He must have gotten beaten up and Melvin Dumar is picking him up as we speak. Pretty soon we will have the Melvin Dummar and the minivan will saga. That's my bet!!!!

Yea, but he does weave a good tale. Another chapter that needs to be told.
You guys can bitch about mini, but I enjoy his posts and stories.

Actually Minivan doesn’t really exist. The name and text only appears here due the resulting spirit of spawning malcontent and whining.

Lunch is on me, the fish are on you.

Or we could say the first one to catch a fish gets lunch bought. I call the run just above the bridge.

Keep me posted on the "6 weeks earlier than everywhere else" Baetis hatch & we'll tear it up.

How are the flows now?

Not sure on the actual feet to the 3rd per second but, for winter flows she's in good shape. Some years they shut that dam down so tight you have to drag your nymph through the run.

Damn, thinken's given me the urge. I love good ol reliable.
