Brent

[123chris]

if i do not have to work i am coming, will know this friday.

[Marc_Karasek]

Me too along with my better half and my munchkin.

Also be bring my tying bench...

[THE EG]

Cocoon and everybody else,

We need side dishes, condiments, utensils and such. NGTO is funishing the burgers and hotdogs. If folks would start naming what they will bring, others can get an idea what is still needed.

Just a sidenote on the peculiarities/differences of gender. At the last fling at Jones Bridge, most women brought fruit or vegetable dishes. Most guys brought desserts or chips. So unless the trend changes, expect to be eating a burger and a brownie as your nutritious lunch. http://www.georgia-outdoors.com/ubbngto/smile.gif

I'll bring potato chips. http://www.georgia-outdoors.com/ubbngto/smile.gif

[HoochRat]

Will bring plastic forks spoons etc. Have a large box left over from last years trip on Haws.

[Jah Live!]

Count me in! Maybe "The Wife" will want to come too.

I've been told that I make the best baked beans this side of the Chattahoochee. Well, at least the Fulton side on Jones Bridge. So, if that's cool with you guys, that's what I'll bring.

I know what you guys are thinkin', but don't worry. It's not an overnighter. http://www.georgia-outdoors.com/ubbngto/smile.gif


Jah Live!

[jeffg]

Reckon I will be there.....
Hope the hootch aint chocolate hootch the day of the fling.

Owl, KB, etc..: You floating or wading>? Wanna meet up before the fling as we did the previous year to fish the lower shoals>> I enjoyed the snake dance last time.

Jah.... all I can think of is the campfired scene from Blazing Saddles....

[This message has been edited by jeffg (edited 09-07-2000).]

[NiteOwl]

No, sorry. I don't want another episode of " Snake Dance in the Fog!" thanks. I wouldn't be opposed to making it an all day thing though if some want to show up early to tie or whatever. http://www.georgia-outdoors.com/ubbngto/smile.gif
I'll be there, and will be floating providing the river isn't mud. I'll bring some baked beans.... http://www.georgia-outdoors.com/ubbngto/wink.gif

No no, I'm kidding....
I'll bring some of my Mom's potato salad....I don't eat the stuff, but my wife who is a bonafide potato salad conisuerre( or whatever.....i can't spell it ) says it's the best in the whole world. Yeah, ...it looks like cold dog vomit to me. http://www.georgia-outdoors.com/ubbngto/smile.gif hahahaha

( sorry if you have a weak stomach, there folks.)

Anyway, I hope to alos bring some stuff to give out, to make things a little more profitable for those attending......some tying stuff( that I don't use), some PC games, and some books...including, "On the Spine of Time"...

It was as good as you guys have been saying it is....and if you win it, and have won it, you can hand it to your neighbor, I suppose. http://www.georgia-outdoors.com/ubbngto/smile.gif

Owl

[Chris England]

I'm really planning on attending, but I did get a nudge from my wife that she'd like to go camping in the Cohutta (this is unprecedented) that weekend. We'll have to see. I'd hate to miss it.

-- tight lines

[THE EG]

Chris,

Just tell her there are no bears at Jones Bridge.

[Lil'Joe]

Haven't seen anyone stating they'll bring drinks, so I'll bring a few liters of various flavors.

Joe

[The Ole Man]

I'll bring some chips or something. Re: Owl bringing stuff. I will step in softly here and say that anyone so inclined to do so may bring a door prize for the drawing that will be held. EG has brought some Braves tickets in the past. Last time, Drifter brought a box of flies he tied. Others have contributed as well. In that vein, I will be donating a book for a door prize- "Fly-tying tips and Reference Guide" by **** Stewart.

[B983]

I will bring cooler of various sodas.
Brent

[GARY B]

I will be there with one other person.

I will try to bring some chips.

[NiteOwl]

Well, Ole Man, hope I didn't have to clear that with Eg first !

HAHA, EG. http://www.georgia-outdoors.com/ubbngto/smile.gif


Owl http://www.georgia-outdoors.com/ubbngto/smile.gif

[FairWeatherFisherman]

I'll be there with a cooler of cokes.

[Lady Jane]

I will if I can get someone to cover my on call.

[KB]

Jah Live!,
I thought you were bringing the Brownies?

[GregLS]

I will be there! No cell phone, no pager!
I'm so over due on a fishing expedition that I may just camp out there! (j/k) http://www.georgia-outdoors.com/ubbngto/wink.gif

Greg

[KB]

Cool,
It looks like just about the whole crew will be there.
LJ? Beedub? Grizz? TAM? Loren?
Who else did I miss?

[J Byrd]

I'm bringing the Keg! No really, I might be there, can't say for sure. If anything I might stop by and shake a few hands and meet some folks. Maybe have some baked beans and Jah Brownies and cast a Dave Eden Rod again. As a door prize, I think I will ty up some flies or something. Byrd.

[BeeDub]

See you there...

[Tam]

sorry! I'll be on the road that weekend... working. http://www.georgia-outdoors.com/ubbngto/frown.gif that stinks!! but hey, if we just happen to be taking our break in Dallas, Ga like we do at least two or three times a trip during that time frame, I'll drive right over!! I'll even wear regular clothes and not show up in uniform causing a scramble from the table... hell I might even bring my flyrod... chances of all that coming together, though.. slim to none darnit.

You guys have fun! One of these days you will hold an event I actually have a chance in hell of making... I just know you will!!

International Fall Girl

[Ribbons]

Count me in. However, this will be my first attempt at flyfishing so you will also have a comedy to watch after eating! Since the request for vegs and salad were just soooooo numerous last year, I guess I will bring some type of chips & dip.

Btw Owl...thanks for the wonderful and beautiful description of the potato salad. I'm sure we will all be running over to have some of that now! However, I have 3 dogs and you do have a point! Umm...did I just say you made a point? Geeze...it must be getting late! :)

[Jah Live!]

I was able to talk our local Costa Del Mar rep into "donating" a pair of "Wave Killer" sunglasses as a door prize for the fling. They have the amber polorized glass lenses with anti-reflective coating. I have the exact same pair and believe they are the best polorized sunglasses I have ever had, which has been many. Owl.....can I get a witness? http://www.georgia-outdoors.com/ubbngto/smile.gif

The only catch was to post their website on the board so here goes: http://www.costadelmar.com/

Jah Live!

[NiteOwl]

Cool Jahlive!


oops. almost forgot..yes Costas are da bomb. ( Did I say that right, kids ?)


Beedub, you wanna truck-pool ? I'm planning to float, too.

[123chris]

well found out today that I do not have to work, so I will be coming for sure. I will get back with you in a day or so on what I will bring.

[Steve D]

Count me in. Will pick up a few 2-liters of something.

[BeeDub]

Owlieroo - Yeah, let's meet. We can throw your stuff in the back of my truck. E-mail me and we'll work out a plan.

[NiteOwl]

Roger Charlie one, Bravo team out.

[jtallman]

I am planning on coming over from Athens and would love to do some fishing afterwards. Julie

[NiteOwl]

Well, this looks like it's going to be a big one ! Last time was pretty big.......maybe if I offer to get Beedub and Grizz and Hoochrat to do some pyrotechnics for us ....well hit the 500 mark?


....or we'll set the pavilion on fire......whatever. http://www.georgia-outdoors.com/ubbngto/smile.gif

Owl

here, fishy, fishy, fishy........ http://www.georgia-outdoors.com/ubbngto/wink.gif

[DeBacker]

Will be there with tube and try to bring something to eat.

[BeeDub]

I was already planning to set the pavilion on fire.

[HoochRat]

Said I would bring the forks, etc. Does not appear to be that much fork food going around. http://www.georgia-outdoors.com/ubbngto/smile.gif

Revision, will also bring HoochRat's Hot - Sweet & Sour Beans. Want to see you folks eat these and then put the waders on for the float. http://www.georgia-outdoors.com/ubbngto/wink.gif Float tubes optional.

[cocoon]

Do I need to bring my second tube for someone?

Mark

[Milton]

Looks like I can make it. To celebrate my NGTO debut, I'm going to dig out my Bertha E. Herter Large Kitchen Knife and make a batch of cole slaw. Ambitious, I know, but I'm feeling pretty confident.

-Milton

[123chris]

Is the Gwinnette side off of East Jones Bridge Road? I am coming from Athens and have been to the fulton side, but unsure of how to get to the Gwinnette side. Any help would be appreciated.

[Lil'Joe]

Mark, if you bring the second tube, I'm almost positive I'll stay and use it. (if that's ok, and wife approves of watching kids the rest of the afternoon).

Joe

[The Ole Man]

123Chris
The Gwinnett, Jones Br County Park is off of East Jones Br Rd. The National Park Jones Bridge Unit is off of Barnwell Rd on the Fulton County side.

[123chris]

thanks

[Grizzz]

All right all. I will be there. BeeDub, let me know about the get together to fish. I would like to meet you all.

The Grizzz

[huntfish]

Sorry folks, just found out that I have to travel this weekend to Alabama and then on to California. Have a great time. Owl drink a Dew for me.

[BeeDub]

Oh, yeah. I'll be bringing sausage and cheese balls. What isn't eaten can be used for bait, if you don't mind being called a sausage and cheese flinger/dunker.

[William McClendon]

Late posting, but I'll be there! I'll bring a dessert, something probably homemade. I'll be floating afterwards with the group...with no time limit...No promises to the wife this time!
Milliam

[NiteOwl]

YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHH MILLIAM !

BTW - JAHLIVE, are you bringing plenty of brown caddis for us all? http://www.georgia-outdoors.com/ubbngto/smile.gif


DON"T FORGET MY ROD, DUDE ! http://www.georgia-outdoors.com/ubbngto/smile.gif

Speaking of flies...............what in the world will they be hitting??????? ALl I've been tying is caddis !>!>!>!?!?!?!

[betzel]

owl,
did you get another vice?

haven't used this yet, still waiting on cabela's, BT's stuff is here already.

[SWF]

Man I am going to miss this one I am stuck in Dallas TX for 2 weeks

SWF

[NiteOwl]

We'll miss you SWF.

BetZEL - I got a Thomson Model A.

Simple. that's all. about $40.


works good.....I never did use the rotational feature.....

Owl

[Trousal]

I know you don't know me; having just recently discovered this bbs, but I would be interested in stopping by for a while, (have to work in the afternoon), if this is acceptable? Am a semi-novice angler who still spins, but has just started tying my own flies, (only about ten WB's so far).
Would be interested in the speakers/ demonstations(?), and whoever's brain I could pick. Would try to bring something.

[NiteOwl]

We'd love to have you Trousal. We're a very informal group and don't care if you spin fish or not. Flyfishing is not a requirement here ! http://www.georgia-outdoors.com/ubbngto/smile.gif

If the forcast had said rain, I was going to have to break out the Shimano, myself! http://www.georgia-outdoors.com/ubbngto/smile.gif


Look forward to seeing you there.
