What a great time!! I wish you all could have been there!
I hope everyone made it home safely. I arrived back in Evart just around noon.
Yes the fishing was slow!
Over 40 attended
The age's ranged from 15 oto 80+
I took 3 float trips, 2 on the Au Sable and 1 on the Manistee.
ohiotuber & fat bill cooked up some 40 lbs. of Brisket for the cookout.
The casting demo was fantastic!! As was the slide show.
Eric Austin is one fantastic tyer.
Several of us received semi-private casting lessons from JC & LF
Kaboom1 won the casting contest with an 82' toss.
Yours truely did a whole 46'!!
(taking a DT line to a distance cast is like taking a knife to a gun fight!!)
Jean DeSavage won the Redington rod . (She deserved it after maning the registration desk every day)
Everyone that entered the casting contest is now a "Pirate" and have the documents signed by JC & LF to prove it!!
Photo's and more reports will be coming soon.
AND, YES we will do it again next year!!
