Had people from utah, wyoming, colorado, California and idaho. Thanks Kokaholic and propnut69 for all your guys help we couldn't have done it with out you guys

Jason, Mark and Tim put in a lot of time and effort organizing and running our first ever KFF Challenge. They did a great job and I think everyone had a great time and the food was outstanding (thanks Mark for cooking thumbsup). It was nice to put faces with names on the forum. There was some great tackle and rods given away during the raffle and most everyone ended up with something.

Thanks again guys for your hard work. thumbsup

Thanks for the kind words Wayne,it was great to meet you,and talk a little about the future of our little fishery here. It was great to put faces with names and meet some great people. As always it was great to see Rodger(b duck) again ,and meet Mrs. bduck (trouble)laugh hyst. Rich is was good to see you again,been a long time. Tom (smoke on the water) maybe we can get a chance to go chase some kokes on fontenelle one of these days. To Earl,Dale,Steve,and Jeremy,it was great to meet you ,and I hope you enjoyed your time here. I would personally like to thank everyone that attended. We had a great turnout,some great donation's from some very generous company's. The weather could not of been better,but the fishing sure could of been better.Oh well that's way it called fishing and not catching. A big congrats to both Mark and Gary,for showing Jason and me how to catch fishworthy12,but I'm sure we will redeem ourselves in the future.Rick from kokaneemart ,you were missed,and our condolences to you and your family. You are in our prayers. And finally a big thank you to Buckboard marina for allowing us to have this get together ,in the parking lot. Lets hope that this can become a annual event. thumbsup

Hey guys,

From all indications, the first KFF fest (of many I'm sure) was a big success. Thank you for the kind words and thoughts for my family. I will definately plan on being there next year and we can try to figure out a way to "get Jared" on some kind of fun gag again! laugh hyst

Thank you for pulling it together and I'm sure next year will be bigger. thumbsup

My compliments to you Tim. Petty & Propnut handing out raffle prizes. It was great to see no little kid was left out. This is our future that was having fun.

Thanks Bduck, I was hoping to see some pics of the event. Looks like everyone had a great time with a few very nice fish caught. Glad to see your wife was also hauling them in. Wish I could have been there. Will make a serious effort to come down next year if it happens again. Thanks again.

Petty, that was a great first KFF turnout. We had a blast and walked away with a ton of fishing goodies and enjoyed the cheering section, mostly Ashley, you California @#$%suckers. See you next year.

Wish I would have made it down!

 

[SteelieNut]

Ya, thanks to everyone that put this thing together. I felt like it was a good turnout for a first event. I wished I would have met a few more people, but it was great to meet the ones I did. For all you that didn't make it this year, I would suggest trying to make it a priority next year. These people are great, and you wouldn't believe all the gear they gave away, I wouldn't even dare guess what it would have cost to buy it all. Thanks again to all that put the challenge together, see you next year, if not sooner.thumbsup

For those of you who were unable to attend, you should have seen the smiles on the youngsters faces as they received their prizes. This made the whole event PRICELESS!!!

Thanks to our hosts, Flaming Gorge, Buckboard Marina and most of all, Mother Nature. What a GREAT Weekend!!!!

Thanks to all the sponsors mentioned above. BRAVO!!!!!

Thanks to Tim, Mark and Jason for putting this event together. GREAT JOB!!!! Sorry if I missed anyone.
