2012 NCPA Quill Gordon SUMMIT (minijam)!!!! April 20-22, 2012

That's pretty much what I am doing with the SIMMS stuff, and that is the way that I pitched it to them. I don't see any problem with it.
 
A one hour drive to good fishing is a "short" drive to me. I think you guys selected a location that puts all of us within one hour of a huge variety of waters. Just get your camp supplies before 8:00 PM. including beer. Whiskey may proabably be had in Coudersport until 8:00 PM as well.
 
Make that 9:00 PM on Saturday:

I know. It was uncalled for sarcasm, but we try to keep the JAMS low key on the "industry" aspects. With 100s attending some of these events in the future, I would consider welcoming a Simms booth, but they better be buying the beer and bourbon and paying Shakey for some cool blues.
 
Not sure I understand, I didn't tell them what the forum was, where we were going to be, or any of that. It's not like there will be a representative there pushing their stuff on us. Just trying to get some stuff for us to give away without us having to pay anything. Free advertisment for them and free stuff for us. It's a win win. Next time I will check with everyone before I do anything.
 
No. Please don't be offended. I may just be being crabby, but I guess getting a free sticker to advertise for a gear company doesn't excite me that much. I appreciate the effort you made.

Its a start - now ...if Simms would REALLY like to advertise, have them send us a few dozen G3 waders to "advertise"...heck - put huge SIMMS logos on the @$$ if they prefer ..give me free waders...i'll advertise for them all season long. A Sticker? Not so much.
 
Sasquatch & csoult,

Thanks for putting together. I'll be planning on making the Q G Summit in April. I am in Potter Co every weekend in April fishing mostly the kettle creek valley area. Looking foward in coming up that way to fish some new waters and fishing with you guys. Have'nt fished those waters up there much. BradFromPotter I'll bing my blindfold. Looks like the campground is about 20 miles from my camp. Looking foward to it.
 
Since the QG supposedly exits it's nymphal shell underwater, the wet fly technique ought to be effective. You will have a lot of pupils that weekend.

Since I cannot link to the page and navigation is complicated at that site, I re-print with hoped for acquiescence, the following details:

Epeorus pleuralis

Not offended. No worries.
 
Hey Jack, did you read that the stickers are free! You can take one and put it over the Mickey Mouse logo on your waders to impress all the Jammers.

Anyway, good job guys. I can't remember the last time I fished a QG hatch. I have all winter to think about and look forward to this Jam. Thanks.
 
I was chewing the fat w/ my dad last night and he's interested in attending this as well. He doesn't post on the boards, but he's always looking for excuses to get up to Potter for fly fishing. He has never caughta QG hatch either.
 
Just a throw out. Sweden Valley Inn has fantastic food, I remember having one of the best steaks I ever had there.

Potato City is right across from the campground and is also a very good place to eat.
 
Potato City SUCKS. It just got real crusty dude. Really fast. Last time we ate there, they had flies dropping off into the food. Terrible.

Sylvania Diner is where its at! Haven't been at Sweden Valley in quite a few years.
 
Sasquatch,

Great idea and thanks for getting this started. Nothing better than than QG in Potter County. Well I can stop in at the Lakeview and see Rick on the way too. On the calendar

Dave
 
The idea was Jack's, Dave. Something about getting lost in those hills for a couple days... He just egged a few of us to finally step up and set the time and place! So many of us love the area. I'm looking forward to it.
