Why is it I always take offense when I feel someone thinks I am stretching the truth. Is it a Fisherman’s nature? Is it my raising? Maybe I need to see a therapist LOL.
Here was a post froma topic I recently posted about a rod I called the scwhacker and the clinic from one of the mini conclaves in the early 80’s.

Early '80’s SE Conclaves???
As I remember, the South Eastern Council wasn’t formed until about 1990, with the first FFF - SEC Conclave in 1991, in Atlanta. The next SEC Conclaves were in Haynes City, FL- 1992; Ashville, NC - 1993; and New Olreans, LA -1994.
Prior to that time we all headed to Mountain Home, Arkansas for the FFF - Southern Council Conclave. Actually, a bunch of us still head to Mt. Home every October.

I beg to differ!!!
The FFF chapter of The Tennessee Valley Fly Fishers Held a south Eastern Mini Warm Water Conclave at the Joe Wheeler State park from 1984 to 1989. It was shortly after this when the Salt Water/Warm Water conclaves began to appear south of here. Here is a pic of the pins from 1987 and 1989 I lost the 1988 pin on a hat that blew off in the river that had a smallmouth on it. The South Eastern Councils first conclave was in 1991. 1st conclave pin also pictured. DON’T GET ME STARTED. I have probably attended more conclaves than you have then again maybe not! Sorry I can’t stand being accused of Lying.

Gotta give it to ya. When some one calls my honesty to question I get “Fluffed up” too. :evil:
Being a person typically given to understatemen just to avoid nay-sayers. Its a difficult pill to swallow non the less.
Just do what I have found works for me, ignore fools and hang out with a better class of people . 8)
I went back and read the post, and in all honesty didn’t see where you were called a liar. I saw a difference of opinion posted and did not see it degrading in any way. I think you ought to let this blow over.
Thanks for the input and WAR EAGLE!
Yes after I private messaged the guy I felt bad about it and wished I hadn’t but I did apologize and say I was simply trying to show that there was a conclave in the 80’s.
Tis better to be silent and be thought a fool, than to open thy mouth and remove all doubt! somewhat quoted from Mark Twain
Bobby Knight can’t be all bad, he’s a die-hard fly fisher. He throws a mean folding chair too. I’ve heard he’s attained speeds of 98 mph with the chair, although he’s a little wild and sometimes has trouble getting it over the plate…er foul line.
