Howdy Folks,
Many of you know I have not been on the board posting much in the last year or so. It has been a very hectic time for me at work as the agency I work for, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, has been going through some significant changes and challenges with budget, staffing and oversight. It seems I am working twice as hard as in recent years and getting half as much done! It sure has taken its toll on my fishing as I only went a few times in 2008 and have not wet a line yet this year

. I am just really glad that I made that trip to float the Kanektok River in Alaska back in 2007 with board members Greg, Michael, Joe, and Eric because I sure have not had time to do that or hardly any kind of fishing since then.
Things will be changing at the end of this year as I will be retiring after 36 years with the NRCS

! Man I can hardly wait. I definitely will get back to much more of my favorite pastimes, fly fishing and playing a lot more music.
In the meantime, here is a link to some old and new songs from the band including an old Northern California Fly fishing board song I wrote for the board back in 2006. Click on the link below and look for the song at the bottom of the page. I do have the Northern California Fly Fishing Blues right now! Come 2010 however they will be long gone!!!!
