Fishin in a Snowing Day

The 4th Annual Christmas Fishin Gathering was held on the snowiest day of the year. The weather would not stop the RBF Pro Staff from enjoying themselves while others struggled with the arduous weather. The members enjoyed a delightful, hot breakfast at the Waffle Shop then cautiously drove to the frigid Paradise for some fine fishin and fellowship.

After several hours of delightful fishin in somewhat arduous conditions, the Pro Staff enjoyed some fine food and drink. This year's delights included Bowhunter's Three Alarm Chili, Penn State Bologna, Smoked Steelhead and Caviar, Fried Shiitake Mushrooms and Venison, Belgium Ale, Sam Adams Winter Lager and Gran Pescador Really Hard Cider. The Fair Maiden provided a Christmas Cookie Bag for all loaded with fine pastries. We didn't catch anything on fire this time.
The Christmas table included some fine Belgium Ales.

And yes, we caught fish. What did you expect?

Wei-Chung Chang, a curious young man from Taiwan, was so impressed with our happiness on such a snowing day that he featured the RBF Pro Staff on his blog. Check it out...

Enjoyed the day guys. Prostaffers live for arduous conditions.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all prostaffers.

Sorry I could make it - my loss. Elliott's BB game was cancelled, but I would have been able to make it anyway, with the snow and the fact that I've been laboring through a nasty cold/sinus infection also. The days are now getting longer - Baetis are just around the corner.
Merry Christmas all!
