Haven't been around lately. But I'd like to help. I can do just about any demonstration or coaching. Just a warning, I'll still show up anyways 🙂. Larry

Not to worry - we'll put you to work. Glad to have your help!

How's your knot tying/leader building skills? FrequentTyer could use some company at his station. He'll be soooooo prepared, all you have to do is show up. FT is good company, and he REALLY knows his stuff.

I'm hoping I will be able to come! Started fly fishing last year so this would be great to have the help from all of you guys! Really looking forward to meeting everyone and leaning more then my brain can take in!

 

[Larry]

Yes, I build my leaders & would be happy to demonstrate how to. Look forward to sharing space with FT. Larry

 

[TimRobinsin]

Getting closer!

Looking forward to meeting some new faces!

My invite must have got lost in the mail. JK :-D

Sunday's are touch and go for me as my wife sometimes has mass as is the case next Sunday at 12. Enjoy boys and hope to wet a line with some of you very soon.

 

[JVenezia]

Hoping I can make it out for the event.

Silly Fox. You NEVER need an invitation to be a part of anything I do - I just assume you'll be there.

Mass doesn't go all day, so if you hustle, you could meet us for lunch or just fish the BWO hatch with us.

Besides, I need someone to park next to me so JT doesn't. 😎

 

[Volksnurse]

I will cover both of you in kimchee at lunch.

And park next to both of you.

Hi Larry, I'm glad that you will be joining us! I pretty well have hand tied leaders covered with handouts and hands on demonstration. Of course the more there merrier 🙂 It would be good to also plan to cover extruded leaders, and plan for very basic questions like "what's a tippet?" Some of the folks attending are very much beginners and even a simple cinch knot needs explaining.
I'll look forward to meeting you next week,
Mike.

[Aducker]

I'm planning to be there.

 

[Volksnurse]

So unkind...a sure sign of jealousy...

BTW.. ..bringing you a jar of Habenero Hell...

Mike/FT
Got your point, KISS very good policy to follow 😎. Leadercalc waaay to much info. Stay with basic, easy to use, uncluttered info about fly fishing & tying, basic patterns, leaders, only basic knots, tippet to leader, mono/floro etc. If they want more info, we can supply it.

[TimRobinsin]

good advice.

Gary Kell taught me at the last CI workshop to have a 1 sentence, 3 sentence and full explanation reply when teaching. the trick (I am discovering) is to know when to use them.

Looking forward to helping out on sunday.

Hopefully this weather treats us right on Sunday.

 

[GenCon]

Yes, I hope the weather is nice as well. I will be there regardless. For I have now figured out how to tie a green weenie. :-o :-o

 

[Volksnurse]
