The Bass Pond elite celebrated Sam Tisdale's home water location in grand style. Even thou the weather was less than favorable; these hardy warm water fly fishing group faced high northwest winds head on in the early part of the day, it made fishing difficult especially from the wad-able shore line... fishing was turned off by cold front that came thru this morning, catching fishing was sparse but some members caught schooling bass, yellow perch, pickerel and crappie. We made Sam Tisdale proud from the today's gathering ... WOW! great event, making new acquaintances and meeting old friends again, the food, fellowship, laughter and scenery were absolutely outstanding....Thanks to all for attending and contributing to a great & fun day of memories...The laughter was plentiful....

The wind was brisk and strong, it was hard to find any calm water for fly casting...

Armand getting ready for battle...notice the bushes blowing sideways...Whew...casting was a chore...

Caddis, Angelo, Mike, Paul and gang get ready for the days adventure...notice everyone is bundled up due to the cool weather

Jeffsod broke the ice and caught the first fish from his neat looking Grumman...What a sweet ride.... he was able to get around and fly fish several windless coves and found plenty fiesty Pickerel, bluegills, yellow perch, and schooling bass... he brought about 2 dozen fish to hand... Goldies and Flash dancers was his secret fly of the day ...


You can see the the wind was relentless... it was blowing hard and straight into the beach front where many member were trying to wade and cast...it was tuff conditions

LUNCH TIME!!!!!Sam Tisdale style!!!!Ribs, Eggplant, rolls, pastries. roasted potatoes. Pulled pork, Bake beans, baking specialties, macaroni salad, etc etc......



All the secret blue ribbon recipes came out ot the closet in full force...these prestigious chefs rolled up their sleeves and went to work...it was a culinary work of art!!!

Pulled BBQ pork and beans was flown in from Memphis, Tenn


Outstanding Mouth Watering Eggplant was flown in from Europe...I believe from Florence, Italy....


Succulent "the meat that falls off the bone" BBQ Ribs was brought in by armed guards...the recipe was under lock and key... Lord have mercy.... were they good.!!!..


Caddis stayed up until 4 in the morning baking these delicate and fine assortment of fine French pastries....rumor has it, he stole the baking recipe from Julia Childs


Armand going back for seconds or was it thirds?....everyone plate's were over flowing...even the local neighborhood came out to witness and couldn't believe the Bass Pond spread in honor of Sam Tisdale!!!



The STS trophy went to Angelo and his brother for absolutely outstanding BBQ ribs...it was a landslide victory and the crowd went crazy wild!!! What a memorable event!!!
Thanks everyone for contributing... after this great feed....we were like a fat, lazy, pride of lions, bellies busting, sprawled out and resting after feeding on a kill from the plains of Africa...

During the late afternoon, the winds died down some and was blessed with warmer weather...some of us struggled to decide to take a well deserved nap of get back to fishing ...


Bait fish were seen along the shore line finally ...Herring????

This is a incredible fishing machine...many large trophy size fish have come over it's keel...



Trader and Gillbuster found some crappie and blugills ... they had many hits and false hookups





The wind died down nicely and pond became like glass... small fish were surfacing all around... anonther New England pond getting ready for fall/winter season

Trader enjoying the solitude and beauty of Glen Charlie...At this point, one look at the nature abound and realize life is good....




As the sun starts to set and we left Glen Charlie pond,.... we reflect on all the fond memories of another great STS outing with good friends, food and fine fellowship...
the fast paced life style we lead daily with work and raising families.... we can take an opprtunity to stop for an afternoon and recall how we are all blessed; ....thanks Sam Tisdale, for bringing the Black Bass fishing to Massachsuetts...some how, I felt that old Sam Tisdale was looking down on Glen Charlie this day and smiling on us...We will be back some day to revisit Sam's old stomping ground...Thanks to all for an outstanding day of great fly fishing fellowship ...see you on the water soon... Thanks again
