The Confab is a fly fishing tradition. It is an informal exchange of views and ideas, or, in this case, a fly fisherman's opportunity to schmooze with a large group of friends, with a fly rod in one hand and a burger in the other. This year we are going to add a few fun things that you will not want to miss. The theme: everyone casts, everyone ties.

The Casting Party Master Caster Walt Robinson:
Hands on Clinics, Basics, Distance and Accuracy Demos, Spey, Switch Rod, Single Spey, Roll casts, Shooting heads. There will be a casting pond, and the ever-popular Annual Casting Contest, all levels.

Behind the Vise: Fly Tying Instructor and hostess Elaine Cook:
Bring your vise, and tie one on, all day. There will be clinics and a Blind Tying contest. The fly of the day will be the LA Times "Yellow Sally".

Displays: Flies, Rods, Reels, Lines, Conservation and Fishouts

Clinics: Knots, Wader repair, and more.

Barbeque: Anybody who says there's no such thing as a free lunch would be wrong! See you there!

Big Swap Meet: Perfect time to unload your old stuff to someone else. One guy's trash is another guy's treasure!

Next Meeting: Get ready to volunteer and get ready to have some fun. Let me know if you want to be a part of the festivites.
