Rockies don't get much bigger than that, nice fish! I'll take you to a spot this summer where all the rockies are that big, they are a ton of fun on the fly!

As for the soap, have you ever saw those steel bars of soap they sell? You should pick one up, they are strictly meant for removing fish smell from your hands and they work great! Only a princess would buy one of those though....

I could probably only fish thursday after work. Got a meeting with a mortgage broker today and friday.

The float from fc to policemans is a guaranteed go for saturday though! Can't wait, I hope its 20 degrees with no wind!
