Sorry, didn't check the board in a while.
So what can you tell me about the PA Fly Fishing Jamboree?
Lots of good people. We basically collect the most obsessed fly fisherman in the state, take over a campground centrally located to the best waters of the state, and at the best time of the year to fish them. And then we all totally ignore fishing in favor of eating, drinking, playing music, generally carrying on, and complaining about the weather.
j/k. Sort of. It was well enough explained by others. I'd describe it as a weekend long celebration of the sport. The diversity of people is always interesting. Hillbillies & yuppies, liberals and tea partiers, lawyers and blue collar types. But somehow it works.
Im very new to fly fishing and saw this on the Forum and it was mentioned to me by a member (pcray). Seeing how I don't know the area, the streams and I am a rookie would it be worth going?
You're welcome and yes, it's more than worth it. You'll be on some amazing water, hanging out with a lot of really good fishermen, most of whom would prefer to show a newbie a good time rather than catch a few extra themselves.
Need to know so I can start working on the Mrs now
You should do so. And there is fishing on Friday and Saturday, but if you want to get really hard core into the fishing side of it, show up earlier in the week and stay longer. People will arrive as early as the weekend prior, and by Thursday evening the majority will likely be present. The "party" side of it is kind of the conclusion.
