The resort has a 'rumpus room', very basic, but it had electricity
which was about all our group needed. It provided a place for
folks to gather and tie. Dick Lane (Fishing injun) was a nearly
permanent fixture in the room, and gave out dozens of flies
to our folks. Vises and boxes of goodies were spread out
everywhere. Lots of sharing of knowledge and materials.
Please do a 'mouse-over' for names on these, sorry I don't have
names for everyone.
Some tying, some conversation...making connections.
Ronn Lucas standing nearest the camera, brought lots of goodies
and and gave away a wonderful assortment ($100 worth) of peacock
feathers on a free drawing. Denny Conrad won the drawing and
shared it with everyone who wanted feathers to tie. In the
background in the red hat is Matthew and his dad, 'brother'
Morland, Gary's brother.
Ronn brought exotic feathers as well as some beautiful atlantic
salmon flies for everyone to see. Many of the skins were ones
we had never seen except in books. A wonderful opportunity!
Here is how some of those exotic feathers are used. The Atlantic flies are
larger in actual size than most expect.
