I think I'm scheduled to be out of town that weekend. If not I will attend.

Just get one of those closed bungee cords with the balls on the end put on your wrist give it a twist and loop over the end of the rod. It sounds odd but it really helps.

Some of these guys trained me as a Tadpole back in the early 80's!

I will not cover fly casting other than some most basic moves due to limited space and time, so sign up, folks! :smt007
