Neff's 2nd annual steelhead bash!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!

Well Boys and Girls,

It’s that time of year, when we get a bit more relief from brutal night time temps and humidity that plague us during the summer. The sun now hits the horizon a bit earlier as we try to tie on our last BWO before we need to breakout the headlamp. Our freestoners will begin to receive the intermittent deluge of storms that will freshen up the current trickle that currently harasses what little trout life is left. Trout Fever will continue to keep UPS in business as he cranks out spey flies like it’s his job and we’ll all begin to dust off the long rods. The random king will enter the Salmon River and somehow make it to the hatchery. Yes, it’s almost CHROME SEASON!!!!!!!!!!!! That dime bright mammoth that quickly sizzles you down to backing as it performs one of the most beautiful acrobatic sessions you’ve ever seen before it even thinks about stopping. It’s what we all live for.
Fall marks the season that we think about the rest of the year. Beautiful fall colors are broken up by the huge purple dotted browns and bright medal heads. Atrocious language echoes down the unemployment line as the white boot crew drags out their limit of fading mudsharks and lashes them to the bumper of their 1984 minivan. Guides populate the river in their fancy drift boats pretending to own it and us die hard steelheaders are waiting for Columbus Day weekend to come and go so we may swing for chrome (hahahaha YEAH RIGHT, BOUNCE BEADS MOTHER FUCKERS) in somewhat peace. This also means NEFF’S 2[SUP]ND[/SUP] ANNUAL STEELHEAD BASH is approaching!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Last year’s BASH was a major success. I just want to thank everyone who came and who brought food. I think it turned out very well and everyone always had a smile on their face and a beer in their hand, what more could you ask for? Chris was manning the grill, populated by RONBO wings and plenty of other food that was brought by NEFFERS. The weather was perfect and fishing was decent. This year will be different. It will be BETTER!

Ok, now pay attention.


This year’s 2[SUP]ND[/SUP] Annual STEELHEAD BASH will be taking place across Veteran’s Day weekend. I say across because some of us may have off that Friday while others Monday. Find out now, whatever you do. The dates, for you lazy fucks, is Saturday the 10[SUP]th[/SUP] and Sunday the 11[SUP]th[/SUP], 2012. I for one will be arriving EARLY Friday morning and leaving Sunday night. So, while were on this topic, I will now elaborate on LODGING.
LODGING
As you all know, last year’s bash location was a huge success however, it is not available to us this year. So, plan B has taken effect. This year’s bash will be held at CANNON’S PLACE on Rt. 48. It’s literally mid river and right over Pineville Bridge. It’s the perfect location. I know Dave and Sussie very well as I stay here all chrome/snowmobile season. Downstairs in the hotel is a MASSIVE common area with a huge kitchen as well as a bathroom/couches/tv etc. This will provide a break from the rain/snow/wind/cold temps that would possibly plague us. There is also access to a fire pit outside if the weather cooperates. There are grills on premises as well for RONBO WINGS!!!!!!!
I ask many of you to please book your rooms here as Im sure Dave and Sussie don’t just want one or two parties here and then the masses flood in at night. They as well as I would appreciate most everyone try to book here. There are plenty of rooms, you just can’t procrastinate. Rooms sleep anywhere from 4-6 people ringing in at 30 bucks a night(drops for Steelhead Season J ). CHEAP!!!! And MUCH MUCH MUCH cleaner than Stoney’s. BOOK ASAP!!!!!!!!



Cannon's Fishing Lodge: Pulaski New York: Fishing, Camping, Lodging, Snowmobiling

WARNING:
You may wake early one morning to a loud, blood curdling scream that will make the hair stand up on the back of your neck. Neighbor campers to us last year at the BASH thought a child was being molested or a pig being chased around just waiting to be slaughtered. Have no fear, it’s only BROUGH and his coyote call.

FOOD!!!!!!!!!!
Ok, well, this is a very touchy subject, but for the most part, we nailed it last year. This is going to take YOU guys to step up to the plate and PM ME with what you will bring. FUCKING STEP UP AND PM ME! I will absolutely NOT TOLERATE anyone who shows up empty handed. I DARE YOU to show up empty handed. You thought I was a dick recently on here to Beetle? You aint seen shit!
So, much like last year, I will take care of most of the breakfast. I’m going to need someone to step up and bring milk/orange juice/butter and cream cheese, though.
As for kitchenware, the easiest bet would be to bring paper towels/napkins and a huge box of paper plates and plastic ware. One can easily pickup said goods for under 30 bucks at Costco/Sam’s/or BJ’s…NO EXCUSES, so we need someone to step up for that task.
Other than that, ITS OPEN GAME! Food will not go to waste so what’s not eaten at lunch, will be eaten at dinner, and then moved to the next day’s lunch, ETC…
Please, I ask you, STEP UP!
OF COURSE I’m not asking you make home cooked meals, prepare for days prior, and ask for your mothers secret recipes, obviously, but I am asking you to bring enough for a few people. I don’t give a shit if it’s tube steaks and chicken nuggets. The weather will be cold, so anything warm and soothing will be fine!!!!! J Easy things to make/pick up is chili/stew/pulled pork/burgers and of course wings.
Again, we have access to a FULL KITCHEN with stove and microwave. So no worries about not being to heat stuff up. A crockpot dish is a great idea as you could plug it in for the day, set it on warm and when we get back for lunch or dinner, she’ll be ready!!!!!!
So please, when you know what you will be bringing, just shoot me a PM. Thank you folks.
As far as alcohol, were all grown men and I think we know how this should work. Everyone should bring a little of something, this way one does not feel guilty dipping their hand in another cooler, as long as other’s can have access to theirs. It’s a process of reciprocity.
Food structure will be AS FOLLOWS!!!
Breakfast at 530 am. Due to having access to the kitchen and what not, I’ll have breakfast ready at 530 and I will be on the river by 6. Those of you rolling out of bed at 7am, don’t think I’m waiting for you. I’ll be on the water at 6am. Help yourself/heat yourself up whatever is left.
LUNCH will be at noon.
And DINNER will be any time after 530 or when people get cold. I assume dinner, at least for those of us who are die hards, will be closer to dark, IF NOT dark…
MISC
Besides the necessities, I ask some people to throw an extra “soccer” chair or two in their trucks to bring up. There will be plenty of us there so the more seats we have, the less we need to stand J
Homebrew beer I’m sure will be brought, and I will be making a special fall concoction(“apple pie”), only made with the finest 195 proof grain alcohol out there.
I as I’m sure Lynch and Tobias will all have our boats up there. I am not speaking for them, but I would love to float anyone who wants to see the river at a different angle. A great way to explore new spots you can’t normally do by foot and the opportunity to CRUSH chrome. (yes, I mean coors too) If I had to guess, I would assume the other dudes wouldn’t mind either. Tobias just demands warm Keystone as payment and Lynch enjoy delicious IPA’s…(Shane, you can’t float with Lynch hahaha)

There it is folks, the basic layout of NEFF’S 2[SUP]ND[/SUP] ANNUAL STEELHEAD BASH! Obviously, dates on “meeting” times and other reminders will be posted as needed, but I think I have covered the basic structure of the bash. Again, please think about who you want to room with and what you will be bringing and PM ME and book your rooms ASAP.
Thank you!
Best,
Chris
 
*stay calm, stay calm, chris*

There is a link in the write up with the hotel, and google is your friend.
 
Ok boy's it's official, this year will be bigger & better than last year! Please book your rooms early(@ Cannons hopefully) & be sure to PM Chris Simms what you intend on bringing to the bash. This is a great way to put faces to those computer muscles and all get along for a great time ripping lips. Those of you that haven't fished for steelhead before you don't know what your missing, the tug is the drug. CTobias has even offered up some great door prizes for the 2nd Annual Steelhead Bash attendees. So beef up you arsenal to 7 & 8 weights and tie a few patterns (fine or just open a bag of beads). Lets get the ball rolling on this and have some fun......
:hi:

P.S. Chris is really a cool nice person not to be confused with that joking racist dude that Beetles seem to rub the wrong way!
 
Well about fucking time!! I think you claimed this post was coming out over a year ago!! Haha (no I don't like using lol)

So get excited people, even if you're a lazy fuck like me, this is the time to get off your ass!

I'll do the same as last year, with a bunch of ground beef and buns...with the grill going, burgers worked all day/night

Will be figuring out the room situation ASAP...I think might be fine with a closet if I don't have to hear the coyote call again...I can still hear that thing!

I have a one man 'toon I can bring with...never floated the Salmon and would love to get out there
 
Phil,

You are the man!

Get BEEBS on board!

Also, CTOBIAS just texted me. He has booked a room at Cannons as of this morning.

Let's go folks!
 
Dont be cheap. Book a room. You can go 2 days without giving the GF the ole' sandusky slop and drop...Shell still be there Sunday...

Book a room you fucking dirt merchant

You dont NEED to book a room there to attend, correct??

Well i got a place to stay at in mexico ny, so i figured id just stay there. But maybe ill book a room to avoid a DWI...
 
Yeah, that may be a smart idea :)

If last year is any indication of how this year's nights will end, you wont even be able to find your car...
 
Count me in! Last year the homebrew was gone much too quickly, I plan to correct that this year. And my earplugs are already packed.
 
Maybe you guys can leave a little room for TT?

Look, Chris is a super guy to suggest the couch. Knowing he just got back from a tour, and spent some extended time away from his wife. Btw, she is pretty cool too, and fishes. I really hope you (or anyone for that matter) wouldn't want to be racking out on the couch with the Tobias'....

Maybe Beatle will let you sleep on his couch.
 
I'm in. Will be rollin' with Redfield Jim. Located inside a vintage steel Coleman cooler, will be a select bottle of bourbon, some excellent beers. Also bringing a plow disk wok and burner. Not sure what will be cooked on said wok yet, so before an announcement is made, I would like to talk with D'Angler.
 
Im IN!!!!!

I will bring lunch for Friday. A big tray of wraps and some chips/pretzels/snacks. Probably enough to have some carry over for dinner too depending on how many people show by noon Friday. I will take Friday the 9th off and arrive late morning/early afternoon with the grub.

CHROME BABY, YEEAAAA!!!!

Out fish me and Ill let you be a mod on GST :rofl:

I would you meant Beeber haha
I try not to sleep with a beer...I usually end up spilling it and have to figure out if I pissed myself or not...
 
Ok, I just booked my room for Saturday, 11/10 and Sunday 11/11 night at Cannon's. I'll be in the room next Tobias, so keep it down in there. The room sleeps five guys, and there are 4 open beds left in the room. They charge by the head. If you call up there, just say you want to be in the room Eric has reserved.

Chris, she mentioned that the only 2 booked rooms so far are Chris Tobias and "Dave" has the basement. If you made a reservation, you might want to doublecheck.

I'll be up there fishing with another group of guys starting on Wednesday and that trip will end sometime Saturday, I'll pack my gear up from that lodge and catch up with you guys sometime in the afternoon. Still not sure if I will be bringing the pontoon up or not.
 
UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!
THANKS ERIC!!!!!

Ok guys, well there was some misscomunication on behalf of myself and Sue. Turns out the basement HAS BEEN TAKEN (the communial area) by a separate party. HOWEVER, FEAR NOT! I have reserved the APARTMENT suite for us to conduct our business. It is a huge apartment that we ALL can gather and warm up and get cocked after a long morning/day of fishing. I cleared it with Sue and as many people as we can jam in there to drink, she has no problem. Apartment is a FULL KITCHEN/LIVING ROOM/BATHROOM and everything in between. Acess to a grill is also permitted and is located at the bottom of the stairs on a patio!!!!!! :) (fear not RONBO)

So, it's still a go!!!! Of course, please try and book a room with Cannons...Im sure she doesn't want one room booked and all of us over there at night using her facility, ya know?

SOOOOO!! The apartment suite also sleep 8 people comfortably, (2 more on pull out couches if need)...

Right now I have 4 people with me. If you would like to stay with me, PM ME and let me know. It matters not to me, im just offering it up....

SUE also said they WILL BE 100% booked for that weekend, SO BOOK YOUR SPOT NOW.
 
I would you meant Beeber haha
I try not to sleep with a beer...I usually end up spilling it and have to figure out if I pissed myself or not...

Smart ass!!! haha

Let me know if you and BEEBS wanna bunk with me..I got room for 4-6 more...
