I had many people ask me if we can do this every year and id like to make it an annual event. Had some great food and great prizes for the raffle. 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

I caught 2 kokes for the challenge and Smokeakoke caught 1 koke and a pup laker at 2lbs. Here is some pic's also of the BBQ. If an avatar fits someone, take a good look at Propnut69. 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.

Here is a pic of the KFF Hat that was raffled out. Also, here is a pic of a Sockeye Salmon decal in 4in & 6in size I had made up on my own. Of course not without a price. The larger on the boat.

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.

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

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

What a great week at the gorge. I had a blast. Fishing was a little slow compared to years past. However the get together was a hit and the prizes and friends were top shelf.

Thanks again to all of our great tackle companys that made donations to this event. you made it great. Les and Lauretta, the owners of Buckboard for allowing us to use this area to hold our little gathering.


for those of you that are new to the buckboard area, These folks are wonderful and are like family. I give them my business whenever i can and will continue to do so. You wont be disapointed with the services that they provide here.

Look forward to next year. Hope to see many more folks come into town for this little gatehring of friends and a time to share fish stories and lies, and some good food and good times.
