Possible Santa Sighting on the Buff

Looks like Santy brought me an early present of a day or two of leftover vaca. I MAY use it to make good on my as yet unrealized threat to base camp at Spring Creek and fish the lower Buff. At present I don't have dates other than December but if I were a betting man I'd bet on something like the 19th-22nd. The nice thing about the base camp setup is the opportunity for those who can't stay the whole time to come and go as necessary, and heck, Mrs. Deuce might not even approve of such an extended absence so close to Christmas so consider this trip plan tentative. I'll give you deets when I have em.

You probably already know this, but on those dates you likely won't need the Deet. Happy Thanksgiving!

Deets = details. Happy Thanksgiving to you as well! You're in Idaho now?

Yah I knew that. Yes I am. Me and my two red canoes moved here at the end of July. I'm about four miles from the banks of the North Fork of the Snake River near Idaho Falls. I start cleaning and polishing the Bell Morningstar for an early spring paddle just as soon as the weather and health allow. I miss Arkansas and Tennessee rivers already, but looking forward to new adventures here.

What would one be fishing for? And what kind of bait would one be needing? Will Gracie be (hopefully) be attending?

One (at least this one) would be fishing for smallmouth bass and probably using tubes. Gracie's participation will depend on weather and availability. She's a busy gal.

Was thinking about a 2-4 day trip near that time frame myself depending on water levels . Possibly a solo XP10 or canoe ?? More miles in the XP but the canoe is more "anti-freeze friendly"

Hmmmmm. I could possibly spring for some green pumpkin tubes. You're on your own for jig heads though.
