Dan, I'm headed out to the valley on friday and monday if your gonna be down here........No big "to-do", just a day chasing trout and char, maybe hit a little lake for northerns if the trout aren't cooperating. I'll be putting my new Jiffy to test too!
I'm also looking forward to the Team Alaska outing, but if that doesn't come together I'll be looking at doing a laker/burbot trip (2-3 days) the first week in march +/-........Don't know if you have any time off coming around that time frame?
