Nolefear are you going to be there?

Who else?

Myself, Barhopr and Reel Slow made it to the clinic....Not sure if any one else was there, I couldn't hear all the names during roll call.

Picked up alot of good info at the clinic, I will go to another one, highly recommend it to anyone interested in fly fishing as well.

Went to BigBend Fly Shop with Barhopr and picked a few things up, ran into Littoral on the way out the door.

Enjoyed it RS & BH

Had a great time learning with BH and Chalk.

Was a very useful clinic. Instructors knew there stuff and were good at teaching too.

Chalk got the most improved prize, BH sold his rod for 100 bucks, I broke mine in two

Good info and learned style that seems to work good for me and learned to correct my tailing loops. I think I heard one of the instructors say that there were 20 some odd folks there today which apparently was a good turn out.

Reel Slow....sorry about hitting you in the head with my yarn fly

I was just testing my accuracy.
