I am looking for feedback for an FM gathering in Crookston this summer.. I am thinkging July 10th weekend. Fishing the Redlake river or Red River. Pending on water available in the rivers boats and shore fishing will be a great adventure..

If the river is anything like last year we should have a great place to have a gathering below the dam.

Crookston has a great park for camping along the river and several hotels and motels.. for preferred rates just tell them Wiskers sent you.. The Northland Inn and AmericInn are your best deals.

looking for feedback and ideas for this event to get them city slickers out of the metro up to the boondocks.. lol lol.. Small boats and River Pro's welcome if we use the Red Lake River... I will keep posted on water levels... ...

Let me know your thoughts...

Bikini Volleyball, a lawn chair, a cold beverage in one hand and catching some kitties all at the same time? Hmmm, well Bro, you let me know when you secure the bikini Volleyball teams. I'll be up there either way.

I wonder who will catch the biggest sheep head during this event? or the most sheep head for that matter. It's too bad it's still March. 3 months to go. That's going to be a long wait.

I hear ya Falshman.. I would like to have a pre FM event early when there is good water for sure........ Maybe if enough are interested and dont mind making the trip twice, we could make it happen.. I dont know if I can handle waiting till Jully with out a FM fix.......

Well Whiskers.You will just have to make it down for the Carver Gathering this year.I haven't set up the dates yet but its comming none the less.It would be fun to have it in May when the kitties get rolling,but it seems I have May almost booked solid.I asume that most folks do too.So much great fishing in May.

Might be a long drive but I may be able to make it.

(about 1/2 mile)

:-)

Well Wiskers,
This might be one that I have to attend also. Was born and raised in Crookston and I have never ever fished the river. Spent all my time out on Maple, Union, or Sarah. My brother fishes the river quite a bit and I think you might know who he is. Anyway, I'm transplanted down into the cities now but still make it up there quite a bit, both summer & winter. Since its still a ways away, we'll have to see how the timing works out. We could probably dump our 14' Lund w/ the 9.9 Johnson into the river too. Its not a RP but you can fish out of it

It sounds like a deal Dennis.. Flashman is always looking for a reason to get me down there.

If its a boat and it floats... fish on..

This is starting to sound like an awesome weekend... lets just hope the fish gods are with us and the weather cooperates.

I definately want to make it up there more this year, I'll have to see how catfish league turns out. There's just so many places to fish and so little time.

I think I'm supposed to have a fishing league the 9th of July...I guess I'll have to skip that one. I hope we end up with decent weather, I guess I've fished in the rain before so I could do it again. Anyway I can hardly wait... I'm thinking I may need to do some prefishing prior to the event.
