Confab 2006
Coordinator and Fishmaster: Kathy Powers
| Date: | Saturday, February 11th |
| Time: | 9:00 AM until dark |
| Place: | Soquel Grange, 2800 Porter Ave., Soquel |
This is an all day get-together for fun, food, learning, swap meet, and tall tales.
Events:
Potluck Lunch, 12:00 - 1:00 PM
Bring your favorite potluck dish. Something other than dessert is best. The Grange Hall has an oven, stove, and refrigerator. Drinks, plates and utensils will be provided (bring a serving utensil for your potluck dish).
Fly Tying Instruction
Several talented fly tiers in the Club will demonstrate patterns useful in upcoming fishouts. Come to see who will be demonstrating what! You may also tie any other patterns you wish for upcoming fishing trips. Bring your fly tying tools, vise and light. Beginners are encouraged to join in and learn. There will be club equipment available and ample guidance from fellow club members who are accomplished tiers. Fly tying instruction will continue in the afternoon on whatever patterns are of interest to participants. This is a great opportunity to get a start on filling your fly boxes for 2006.
Casting Instruction (morning before lunch)
Casting Master Walt Robinson will offer casting instruction to beginners and to those of us who have unusually quirky techniques that need improvement. He will assist you with rod assembly, basic casting, and specialty casting techniques. Bring the casting outfit that you would like to improve your skill with.
Annual Casting Contest (after lunch)
This is a fun contest for beginners and experienced casters alike. Walt Robinson lays out a circuit to take contestants through a series of different casting challenges, not just distance. Bring your favorite outfit, but keep in mind that nothing larger than a 9-foot rod and 7 weight floating line is allowed.
Swap Meet
This is a good chance to sell or give away those unwanted fishing and camping items, or maybe to pick up a treasure or two.
