A Rainy Hous-Stock Again !

Hi All......despite some very trying conditions a group of fly fishermen from CT and RI gathered and fished at the mouth of the Hous.......it just had to rain at an event called Hous-Stock......third year in a row we held this event and third year in a row it rained.........Fire Marshall Tim Smith won the rod with a 22" striper.........I just want to thank everyone for their support and help today .......its very much appreciated....special thanks to Robert Montori and Bruce Pomeroy for helping with the raffle.....Gary Tyler for his flies and trucking the grill and tables down to Short Beach........thanks to Mike Sivek and  "Internet Fishing Star" Bear Cochrane for donating flies......Mike Harrington for his donation of a really great fly wallet, and Jeff Purcell for an awesome tying bench which he made, nicest one I've ever seen..............I didn't have much time to talk to many of you today, but hope to fish with as many of you as I can in the coming season.......it's the reason why I started this event......to get people together, meet new friends, and enjoy the great resource that the river is.......again, I just wish mother nature had co-operated with us ........tight lines.........
