  1. IN my professional life I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Pa. I work closely with clients who have suffered loss such as yours. One of my favorite quotes is from Elizabeth Kubler Ross who was a pioneer in the treatment of death and dying patients as well as those who have suffered close personal loss. I hope this helps to put your loss into perspective.

    "The reality is you will grieve for ever. You will not "get over" the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will heal and you will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same again. Nor should you be the same, nor should you want to be"

    Be strong.. You are in my thoughts----

    very very good stuff

  2. With twenty kings on the board, one over 33, 10 over 30 and 10 Browns including a 15, the fishing isn't that bad.

    History doesn't lie. Most good kings come in less than 200 feet of water in the fall LOC. Most are caught on spinny/dodger fly/cut bait. Temp and bait become less important. Given the chance pound it out inside.

  3. Never understood why you couldn't weigh the fish in the following day by a reasonable pre set time.  The last hour of daylight is some of the best time to be out.  A fish caught at 8am can be weighed in at 8pm but a fish caught at 8pm cant be weighed in at 8am.  I don't get the logic. LOC is a great event, my family has enjoyed great success and excitement fishing the derby over the years.  Would love to see that one rule change.

  4. Of the ten fish in the dead animal room, six different taxidermists. Some are definitely better than others.

    Take good pics and share them with your taxidermist. Think about how you want your fish posed. Also discuss how long it will take to complete. I brought a big bow my then 6 year old caught only to get it back when he was almost 9.

    Good conversation will hopefully avoid disappointment.
