Jimbo will send out emails about a week before the stocking. I imagine even he doesn’t know exactly when that will be, but it’s usually before Thanksgiving.

You might want to get in touch with Robilyn Pettit.
Thank you, Jimbo, for leading us in a ceremony to honor Ron and his love of the Guadalupe.
Unless you float down from the dam, there’s no access to that stretch. It’s too deep to wade above the Maricopa weir, so, except for some wadeable water right below the dam, there’s no way to fish it.
Depends what you mean by “Sattler.” Our farthest upateam lease is Maricopa, and the water there is pretty cold. Downstream is the old JDL lease (accessed from Whitewater), which is okay in the morning. Below that is the old Kanz lease, and that’s getting pretty warm. And the there’s #5, which is too warm this time of year.

There are holdovers every year, their numbers increasing the closer you get to the dam.

Although Ron and I fished together a few times, I spent most time with him at the stockings, where we frequently chose to ride together in either his or my car. To say he was crusty would be an understatement. But underneath the crust, there was a good and kind man, and a damn good fisherman. I hope to be at the scattering of his ashes.

If there’s a change of date, I’d love to help. If not, I’m afraid I’ll be out of the country on the 16th.

Thank you, David. Do you have any thoughts on how this situation might affect the GRTU lease program?
Alex
Well said, Jimbo. I appreciate the knowledge and wisdom you share.
Alex
Terrible news.
Thanks, Danny.
Just saw the flows at Comfort. Wow! Did the area get a lot of rain?
Jimbo,
The alarms you’re sounding are very dire indeed, but they leave me confused. I’ve attended every chapter meeting (mostly virtually) for the past two years, and the picture the board paints of our chapter is unfailingly rosy. Most meetings include a list of our recent successes, a very positive report of our finances, and much optimism about projects in the offing. I, and I assume other GRTU and LAP members, had no clue about the crisis you describe, and, frankly, why should we when no one informed us that our chapter was anything less than highly successful. If the board needs help, whether it’s in the form of people willing to volunteer to be board members, or in any other form, then it should be honest about its situation.
I have nothing but respect and admiration for the current, and past, boards. That is why your post came as such a shock. I feel as if recent chapter meetings have not been totally honest and that the board has not been transparent. I suspect that if the board told our members that our chapter and our fishery are in danger of imminent collapse, then help would come

Chris and his shop are iconic features of the Guadalupe. Their absence will be felt. Jimbo, do you know what will become of the shop? I assume that Chris isn’t selling it or his property.
