Hey guys and gals. This event went so well last year and we had such an incredible turn-out that I was asked to make it an annual event. So, let's get everyone thinking now about this year's event. It is organized by Heritage-Angler, Delta-Dog and myself. For those of you new to PAFF or who missed last year's event, this fits into our "Newbie" events calendar but all are welcome to attend. Last year Old Lefty dazzled everyone with his casting demo. I think he also gave some great pointers to anyone who wanted help.
The day starts with coffee and donuts followed by a morning of fishing concluding with our picnic lunch. We hold the event on the Little Lehigh at the Fly Shop parking area. Everyone volunteers to bring something and we just have a great time. Last year we did it in August and I see no reason to change this year. I'm thinking either Saturday, August 10th or the 17th.
More details to follow but I wanted to gauge interest to make sure we start planning early. Not sure we can top last year's event but hopefully the tricos will interest the fish this year. Last year the week before the actual event we had a dry run so to speak. We got a little rain Friday night and the water was off-color, tricos came off and the fish were hungry. The day of the event we got rain Friday night again to help the water, tricos came off again but this time the fish were really not all that hungry. Oh well, that is why they call it "fishing".
Anyway, post here if you are interested in coming and how many people will be with you. This is just to get a rough count, no one is committing at this point. About a month before the event, we'll start asking for details on what you'd like to bring for breakfast or the picnic.
