Here is another fantastic prize for the main draw (especially if you have a boat for lake fishing), from Scotty Fishing Products.

Bumping it back up as the countdown begins! We are now six days away. :)

Mike's Reel Repair will be there to do reel repair and maintenance demos. If you have any questions about your reels, Saturday will be the time to ask! :)

Will I have a fair chance to win a prize if I go to the show but promise "Not" to ask questions about bottom bouncing for pinks?

Don't worry - I can only imagine the massive amount of effort you put into educating the public and provide this wonderful information service - it just wouldn't be fair to even think of being a $hirt disturber at that venue. Public presentations are tough enough without some ding-dong heckling you or trying to put you in a position to answer difficult or controversial questions.

By the way - you're sure doing a great service to the fishing and potential fishing community. You're team's efforts are sure building a lot of good karma points. Nice job Rodney.

Peter Caverhill and at least 15 other members from the BCFFF will be running the fly casting lessons and fly tying workshops throughout the event on Saturday. This is open to all ages, so if you want to get a free fly casting lesson, be sure to come out on Saturday.
