I was speaking with Bob Meiser today about various topics related to his rods and the subject of the Spey-o-Rama at Golden Gate Park came up with regard to having lots of rod manufacturers with rods to cast and tryout. Bob is not going to make it this year because he has a conflict with an event in Japan that he was invited to.
At the Spey-o-Rama there`really is only limited time for to cast rods since the main purpose is the casting competitions. Meiser was saying it was too bad we didn't have our own version of the Sandy River Spey Clave down here. He said he would be very interested to come down here and he thought that Gary Anderson and Kerry Burkheimer would also be interested. Certainly, there is a strong group of spey aficianados in Northern California and I have found Kiene's Fly Shop to be the catalyst for all things spey around here. We also have many excellent local instructors and dealer reps.
The American River would be a good venue for such an event since many folks from the Bay Area and surrounding greater Sacramento area could easily drive up for the day and not have to stay over (unless they wanted too).
Anyone else been thinking along these lines ?
