To Clave or Not to Clave?

It looks like I could bust out tomorrow and drive the 1276 miles to 
Navajo Dam.

Problems with that are:

1)  My son Andy's 26th birthday is the 10th and I'd miss it.  He'll 
probably want to take me steelheading that day, and we'd quite possibly 
catch one.

2)  The steelheading is picking up around here.

3)  I'd be driving alone.  (Anyone interested in a ride from the 
Northwest?)

4)  I haven't tied up any microscopic flies.

Thanks in advance for your ideas,

Chas
