This 5th annual show is "fly fishing only".

It is at the Marin Civic Center.

I heard it is crowded and they will be moving to a larger location for 2007.

Hope it is near water as a great thing about he Civic Center is it is the only show around where there is a large enough body of water to play with two handed rods!

[Adam Grace]

I agree with Rick. The pond behind the building is great for demonstrations and casting rods. San Rafael is my favorite show, fly fishing only! Gregg and I had a lot of fun at the last show cast spey rods at the pond in the rain. Hopefully there will be no rain for our next trip to the show.

Here's a picture of Gregg casting off the little dock, perfect for specy casting.


I enjoyed casting the spey rods as well.


Gregg couldn't stop casting those spey rods. Scott had just releaseed their new LS2 rods and both of us feel in love and had a hard time returning the rods


That pond is great for demonstrations like the one in this picture.


The San Rafael show is the best IMHO. I hope to see you guys there.

I was at the show last year and the demo's were great! Joe Humphry's is a exactly how I hope I am when I am his age!! I already signed up for a clinic for this years show. Anyone looking to sign up should do so now before it gets too crowded!

See you all there!

Hey Adam...What day(s) are you planning on being there? You aren't going to skip classes on Friday are you? Thom

[Adam Grace]

I'm not sure yet. I think that Gregg wants to spend Saturday and Sunday there but we'll see what gets planned.

Some of us from the shop are headed down on Friday, Feb 17, the first day of the show.

We are scheduled for a seminar on the new Sage Casting Analyzer there @ 8:30am.

Last year was "papa" Joe Humphries last trip to the shows. He is pretty much staying close to home from now on. I was a great time having Joe, A.K. and Bob at the same breakfast table. You get to hear alot of "old timers" fishing trip stories with alot of the East Coast notables.
For those of you into the fly tying, i would highly recommend a tying session with one of the best - if not the best in the industry A. K. Best.

See you all at the show

Jay,

The schedule shows you and Ken speaking at 3:00 Friday about the Ten Best Saltwater Flies and the Fish that Eat Them. Is this pretty much the Baja Show or are you doing another seminar as well?

I sort of remember you saying you made some kind of change to the program a while back.

Looking forward to seeing another great presentation,
TONY

Tony,

the show on the 10 salt water patterns is one show and I will be doing the Baja presentation on Sunday morning, first thing. It's even going to be Power Point
