Riverside Fly & Tackle River Days + Coquitlam River Cleanup
« on: July 20, 2006, 09:03:14 PM »
Thats right, put on your party dress boys and girls. ;D Riverside Fly & Tackle in Port Coquitlam is having a weekend full of events coming this August. The dates are August 12th and 13th.

Saturday August the 12th is the Coquitlam River Cleanup day. This smalll urban stream has many problems with garbage like you are familiar with like on the Vedder River. The last time a cleanup occured on this stream FWR had a good turnout of members to help out and we look forward to the same this year. :)

More information on times and meeting places will be posted as the date draws closer.

Sunday August the 13th is a casting competition and BBQ. There will be a singlehand flyrod distance competition, Technical 9 hole course and Spey casting distance challenge. Their will be free casting demo's and instructions by some of the industry's best.

Some events have a small fee to enter with their being cash prizes. We will post more info on this sooner to the date like the cleanup.

Lot's of Demo rods will be on hand to try out from such brands as Gloomis, Fethastyx and Loop. As well as Rio and Airflo flylines.

Guys travel to Patagonia and live the dream of many with a action packed dvd of eat, sleep and trout fishing. The guys from the dvd will be on hand for some events on the weekend and promoting their new dvd at the local pub on the weekend. Basically going to be a burger and beer night and the opportunity to watch the new movie. This won't be for minors. Will have the date set in stone very soon.

For more info please call the shop at 604-944-2479 or drop by:

Hope you can all make it out for a fun weekend!!!!! 8)

Yes the previous owner and shop was called Jaymers. It's the same location as before but the new ownership has turned the shop around completely.(The ownership and name has been changed coming up 3 years) Their better staffed now, service is superior and the stock is up to date and much more organized. :)

The new website will be up soon: http://www.riversideflyandtackle.com

finding your limits is fun, it can also be VERY painful.

If you care about Canada's future, get involved by holding your MLA's & MP's accountable!! don't just be sheep!!
