I dunno Jeremiah, I only see one real drinker on the list (ehem... Arron

)--how are we ever going to hold our own against the competition?

I must agree, but despite his size I think Byan can hold his own, so Arron you are going to have to drink for 5.

All I can do is promise to do my best ~hiccup. Do the Italians make a good scotch?

I think Terence and John will give me a run for my money. I am just a tea tottler compared to those two.

Should be a fun competition...4 rivers and one lake. Rainbows, grayling, browns, and marble trout with some hybrids and artic char thrown into the mix.

Then for me, afterwards, off to Slovenia for a week to chase some of their famous trout (rumours of marbles up to 40lb) and then another week in the Czech republic for Kima's River Master course.

Looks like an awesome squad guys. Congrats to everyone.

I think you're going to have to develop a taste for grappa, bellinis, and lemoncello if you want to hang over there Arron! Oh by the way: worlds, slovenia, master class??? Just livin'n the life, eh? Super jealous.

No life...spending all of me weekends guiding this summer to pay for the trip.

Sounds like you have a lot planned Arron, and I can see why you were saying you had a busy and costly schedule coming up. Glad to see you representing Canada. And great to see Clint on the team again too. Great guy to fish with. Byron seems like a great guy from talking to him as well. Looks like a great team!
