Wow! This is going to be a great time! I’ll be presenting my 145 slide power point presentation on Lake Davis and Frenchman’s Reservoir. It covers access points, the seasons, techniques, equipment, entomology, and flies. If you are a newbie, or a seasoned vet to these lakes, I’m sure you’ll pick up some good info you can use next time you fish there. I encourage the fly fishing public to come out to Kiene’s expo and learn from the pros. I’m really looking forward to this – See ya there!

SA has a special offer for the expo, trade in an old fly line to their rep for $20 off of a new Mastery fly line. Must bring the old line to the show.

145!!! That must be the longest slide show ever!

I've added more slides to my PP after getting feed back from the many speaking engagements I've done in the last couple months. It's about 45 minutes to an hour long. With more slides it explains things a little bit better and keeps the audience on the edge of their seat.

DAMN!! I hate to be missing it :(. First time I have missed it in 3 years. Sounds like it will be better than ever...*sighs*

I will be working my way home from a trip to the southeast. That day I will be in Houston. Hopefully will have caught REDFISH in Mobile Bay by then.
