this weekend, 12-13 July 2003, Bass Pro will be hosting a Fly Fishing to-do. I have no details on the events or times but am hoping that Hack will pop in and update us. ------------------ RRhyne56, Flyfishing Warden rrhyne56@comcast.net Robins Custom Flies and Leaders

Robin,
Where are you getting your info from? At best the last I heard, it was an on again off again affair. Supposedly (my info at any rate) it was an idea spun by one of the managers who really dosen't know a thing about what it takes to put the deal together. As such it's been poorly organized with lack luster enthusiasiam (sp?).
Hopefully I will stand corrected.
Roger

Sorry about no report last night but it was still iffy. Anyway we had a pretty good day. I met Rick Pope from Temple Fork rods and got to cast the yet to be released Lefty Kreh modal 9 wt. Very impressive very fast action rod. It will punch into the wind. Also Al Crise of St Croix was there and let me play with the new Legend Elite. I fell in love with it. My casting stroke is such that a very stiff rod helps to correct my tailing loop problem and this one fit the bill. We were throwing the 8 wt with a line that has seen a lot on concrete into the wind. Even I was able to punch it 75 ft. Al gave me a few casting tips as did Rick. Both great guys. Al isn't going to be there Sunday but I beleive that Rick will. You can call the fly shop to find out.
Also, John Hahn a fly fishing guide on Texoma was there tying and talking. He will be there tomorrow. Stop by and say hello to him.

cheers to Al Crise who stood out on a blistering hot Texas summer parking lot showing folks how to cast a fly rod right! ------------------ RRhyne56, Flyfishing Warden rrhyne56@comcast.net Robins Custom Flies and Leaders

So then I take it there was no tying by the FWFF or the DFF? Just a rod demo gig?
