New Years Day 2015...start thinking

2011
I know it's only the end of October, but it's not to early to give some thought to where the "crew" will meet up to fish and feed on New Years Day 2015. The annual event was started in 2011 and this will be our 5th meeting. We usually pick a small stream and meet about 9 am. Coffee is served with donuts and then it's off to try and coax a cold trout to take a fly. About noon we meet up at the parking area and start lunch. In the past lunch has been sausage and peppers, meatballs, venison chili, and homemade chicken soup.

So I would like the "crew" to start thinking about a stream, as well as a menu. If my readers have a suggestion as what to have for lunch please run it by.

  1. Sounds like a great tradition Alan , that's definitely what I would call starting off the year the right way.
    From the looks of all of your past food posts I'm fairly certain you guys will be eating better than the majority of the populace in a four state region!

      It's a good way to start a New Year as you said. We must keep it going.

  3. Great post Brk Trt. I also have a few locations in mind for the annual event. Those "bangers" looked good, you might want to put those on the menu!!!

  4. I would vote for the same lunch that the past has provided. Don't see a darn thing wrong with sausage and peppers, meatballs, venison chili, and homemade chicken soup. Be enough to warm the coldest fisherman.

      They are indeed great selections Mark. And warm you up, that they do.

  5. That New Years post is always a great one to read. Although, judging by the pattern in the photos, you guys might need to be prepared for snow on the ground in 2015.

      Most first days have been cold and snowy. But one year it was quite balmy.

  9. Have read and enjoyed your past posts and references to your New Years Day tradition. I don't feel food will be an issue as long as it is warm and there is plenty of it. Too bad you live so far away. Unlike, Ol' Howard, I like getting out on a good winter day.

  10. Well, poopoo pa do. I've already got the meatballs made and they are good, but I don't think they're going to last until New Years. Have a blast Alan.

      Meatballs, that's so good. No I don't think such wonderful fare as such has much chance of long life.

  11. I'm looking forward the results of the brain storming...
