[randyflyfisher]

We are now less then two months from the Spey Clave and counting down.We presently have seven guest tyers that will be tying some of thier favourite salmon and steelhead patterns in the event tent through out the day.We have confrimation with six instructors that will be doing casting/fishing demos in Steve Rajeff,David Bishop,Courtney Ogilvie,Doug Swift,Larry Halyk and Rick Kustich.I am working on a few possible additions to the demos and will post them as the are confirmed.During the day we will have brief talks from the three Larrys.Larry Halyk will talk about On Stream Fishing Etiquette,Larry Mellors will discuss the Grand River Fisheries Management Plan and Larry McGratton will talk about The Friends of the Grand River and their on going efforts and projects on the river.
Mike Verhoef will be set up along the river bank with his rods and gear to work one on one through the day with people with their casting.Work and planning for this Clave began last Fall and it is slowly but surely all coming together. Look forward to seeing everyone there.

Cheers & thanks,Randy.
