Hi all:
My name is Dean Murray and I grew up in Pinawa. I began fly fishing on the Winnipeg River and caught a variety of species. I have moved around the country quite a bit and have fished in BC, Manitoba, and South Western Ontario.
I am now located in Cumming Georgia having transferred to the North American regional office. Fishing here is great, I can fly fish all year round. but the trout are small and mostly stocked in a lot of rivers. I have fished in the Appalachian Mountains in Georgia, North Carolina and Tennessee.
I recognize a few of the names on this board. I believe I took a mammalogy course with Tim Sopuck with Dr Pruitt. Stu Thompson taught me how to tie flies back in the 90's
I travel back to Manitoba every few years and always bring my fly rod. I have join the site to keep up on all the hot fishing sites in Manitoba.
Anyway hello from the deep south.

Hey Dean: I graduated in '79, with folks like Doug Collicut and a neat English woman whose first name is Jillian. Same class? (I'm frigg'n awful remembering names ). We must have shared that gawdawful bunkhouse during the mammalogy field trip (boot camp??) over the Christmas Holidays. Right after that trip, I went to a New Year's party at the appartment of another of our classmates - Linda Girling - and, after a few drinks, I passed out before midnight! I guess my first impression was forgiven, as I ended up marrying her! Our boats must have crossed wakes in places like English River and Otter Falls. Bass numbers keep improving (don't tell anyone!), mooneye are bigger than ever and I think there are more big pike around (again, keep it under your hat.) Right now, with -25 C (remember that?) and worse, I'd trade places with you in a heartbeat. Come June, pitching poppers to serene Canadian Shield shorelines, I'll be happy I stayed. ...TIM

Dean do you still remember what I taught you. How can you fish for ice trout when you live down south. Come on get back up here and trade places with me. Be glad to fish in some heat this time of year. Never take Tim out for drinks!!! You may end up married to him? ?

Just a final few comments:
Dale: fishing in the Appalachian stream during July and August can be quite trying as the temperature are usually in the 100s. I normally fish tailwaters at that time of year. A lot of streams do not support trout anymore because the stream temperatures have increased do to less shade on stretchers of the rivers.
Stu: I remember everything you taught me. Ah but you did not teach me the ddh leach but I think I can pick up on it just by looking at the pictures.
Tim: I remember that trip very well especially Pruitt's dog. The funny thing I only made it to about 10 pm that new years as well.

Hey Dean you and Tim had the same hobby I see. At least I would make it to 12:01 before I disappeared.
