Great post Ron,
Thank you

Thank's Ellen for you're wonderful presentation and hope to see you next year!

I was happy to say hello to everybody and Ron get ready for next year I think it's going to be a bigger event!

[Digitroll Fishing]

Thanks Andre!

Maybe we can move some of the boats next time out of the showroom and the two designated taping / fly tying tables for next year to open it up a bit more. It's always a work in progress as it grows!

Good stuff Andre and thanks again to our Canadian friends and NY friends who made the visit.

I just sent an email to Raz to move this summary to the Champlain category so anyone can read it. My oversight with this late night post.

Thanks everyone again that made it! And a special thanks to Ellen who may just be a regular key note speaker to keep us updated on her progress with here Lake Trout Study every January at our workshop!

Dang I missed the best one yet. I never seem to be able to get both in the same year. It looks like you put on another incredible event Ron, I wish I hadn't missed it. I'm hearing all kind of rumors how well everyone enjoyed and gained knowledge from Ellen's presentation!

A super job by all who set this up. The presentation by Ellen was both interesting and informative. It was great to meet some of the gang and put faces to the screen names or boat names. This is a nice way to beat the winter blues. This can only get bigger and better. Kudos to all involved
