Sunday morning coming down, and church goers are easing into the parking lot behind the back yard. Where’s my Kris Kristofferson?

The party went swimmingly, and there’s just a bit more reporting to do before getting loaded up to go to Denison Dam in time for the generation this afternoon.

Next to last, we did have a stiff competition in beers last night, with two varieties from Breckenridge Brewery and a contingent of four Boulevard Brewery varieties. On hand were the Agave Wheat and Amber Ale by Breckenridge, and Boulevard brews included Unfiltered Wheat, Lunar Ale, Pale Ale and Zon.

Everyone had the opportunity to taste all beers (plus the house beer – Session), and the winner (it wasn’t even close) is … Zon! According to the label, Zon (Flemish for “Sun”) is a “Belgian witbier, or “white beer”, ZON combines the subtle flavors of coriander and orange peel with traditional ingredients to create a crisp and refreshing summer beer.” Zon is unfiltered, so don’t forget to swirl it before pouring. It was such an interesting variety of flavors that it is just impossible to resist its gravitational pull. Bright and refreshing

Finally, maybe some time to put down the hammer and pick up the fly rod. Things seem to just get interestinger and interestinger … when it comes to connections, trips offered, and trips about to be taken.

It’s almost two in the morning, and I can’t stop for a second. Wilco – Kill Your Television is playing, and I am looking out from the Fly Bar. Everyone is gone, and there’s a lot of leftover food and refreshments. So, the first, inaugural Fly Bar party was a stark raving success.

Whilst others are fishing, dreaming of fishing, or tired of fishing, I have plans first hatched across the bar … Rockport, Utah, another cleanup drink whatever is left over this week … bar tending at the Fly Bar is a good gig.

Although there was a dearth of fly guys at the bar, the stage has been set for more gatherings at the Fly Bar, as reported to me “this will be so great when it gets cooler”. Heck, I say slather on the deet and let’s get going now!

The missing in action have their reasons, whether it’s an axe to grind, or previous obligations. All I know is they missed out. However, there will be more opportunities. I haven’t even finished the bar yet — there’s still the wall, the roof and the video and stereo to go in before we can truly corrupt visitors with good clean fish porn.

So, with no further ado, here are some of tonight’s party pix, sans captions in the interest of sleep. I will do a second installment tomorrow when the connection is a little faster.

Thursday morning at the Fly Bar, and only 90-degrees at 9-am.

Yes, we are still looking far and wide for used corrugated tin to form the roof of the Fly Bar, our outdoor oasis and fly fisher’s entertainment venue.

Today was a productive day though, with LK laying out the bar top with a maze of tiles, customized pottery pieces, rocks and fishing spoons. As I was preparing the Tony Acetta spoons for their final resting place, a couple of things came to mind; First, Tony Acetta had some great spoons that were hard to find. Second, my 5′s and 5H’s had my initials carved in them just to keep my uncle from claiming them as his own. Casting a Tony Acetta was like … hitting a Titleist Balata ball. It just felt good.

Tony Acetta and Johnson Sprite spoons are only a small part of the detailed bar top.

Now they are part of the Fly Bar bar top. There they will rest just like a Titleist on the bottom of your favorite water hazard.

Saturday night is the Fly Bar opening party, and if you are a registered user on this site, or a lurker who is interested in how the other half lives, feel free to ask for details. Currently, the house beer for the foreseeable future is Session, and sampling of the killer B’s will be the feature for Saturday – Boulevard and Breckenridge Brewery beers, in varieties locally available, will be served. Plans are in the works for grilled pizzas as well.

LK knows how to create a puzzle, and solve it.
