Great link .. I have already sent it to all my buddies in the military!
'course they don't have biscuits and gravy ... but if they did, I bet everyone would eat there.

Great site... Check out their donations link. http://www.baghdadflyfishing.com/Donations.htm
I found their site a couple of weeks ago while surfing the web because three of my four children are in the military. I wanted to find a way to give to the troops that was a little different than just sending the standard care package, IE: soap, shampoo, tooth brushes & calling cards. I made a donation of two older good condition fly reels and a bunch of flies. I would urge any & all WL.com members to do the same if you would like to try something a little different in support of the troops.

Great pics. I hope the guy using sausage isnt using the sausage I sent to the grandson of someone I work with.Every month I send Oberto jerky snacks to our troops over there.I had to change some labels removing the word pork.Hehehe.I send playing cards from a couple local casinos and candy also.Its the least I can do for our Brave Men and Women overseas. G-d Bless each one of them.

:cheers: Thanks so much for posting this link. It is really cool to see what they are catching and that they are able to fish over there in their off time. I am busy passing the link around to my e-mail list so everyone can see and I am pointing out the donation link also. How cool is it to be able to send them something they need and we all like to buy. Gives us all an excuse to go shopping now doesn't it!!?? I have also passed it on to the board members of Chapter 57 Tigerpac, the muskie club that Bill and I belong to.

I can tell you all first hand that these kinds of activities are enjoyed by all. I personally was not able to fish, but attended several other events while in Iraq and it’ nice to see and read about the ongoing support for my fellow service members.
Thanks guys for continuing to support us and I encourage all of us to keep great events like this one going for as long as we need to.

Most of the fish looked like Chubs,and Squawfish.Fish are fun to catch whatever they are.Its that adrenilin rush that feels so good.

It's good to see that they get to have some off time and get to wet a line while over there in teh Middle East....They look like they are having the best time in the world...
