On Saturday night member Scott Clay gave a full house a fantastic insight on what it takes to prepare for a trip and then to fish the NE canyons. From bait preparation, to the right kind of food to bring, as well as the safety gear needed, the list is long. It was a great night and thanks again to Scott for bringing his experience in fishing these canyons to all of us.
