Thanks for the heads-up Bill. I'm gonna take a couple new rods over there and see if I can find the perfect lines for them.

This Spey-o-rama is pretty cool. Many professional casters come to compete and talk spey, I really enjoyed myself when I went.

It is a 3 day event; Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

I'm going down on Saturday.

Should be a great event.

We went yesterday and it is a really good 3 day event with lots of special people to talk with and things to see.

There was some good demos by people like Amy & John Hazel (have a nice fly shop, schools and guide service on the Deschutes River) plus our own Jeff Putnam.

They were qualifying yesterday for the full on distance competition today.

Had a nice barbeque lunch for only $5.00. Same today.

Only a short drive from Sacramento to the Golden Gate Club.

Hi Bill,

Thank you very much for coming out to S-O-R 07 and it was nice talking to you again.
You and SAC Boys (Jeff, Bill, Simon, Doug) really shined this year and were great part of the event, thank you.
I hope to see you soon when SHAD starting to show up in AR.

Regards,
Kazu
