Sparse Grey Matter

Here's some pics I took. Had an excellant time, I hope it happen again next year.

It was almost a 50/50 mix of people from this site and people who came because of Shannon's. I counted just under 60 at one point and would guess we had 100 come in the door. There will be a 2nd location, looking for a place in the Syracuse area, maybe in a few weeks! I am happy to say I planning o...

I missed this one in 09, so I'm going to try like hell to get to 2010's event.
I'm giving tying lessons on Saturday's during the winter so I'll have to see what day's are open.
Or I can make sure that there will be no classes on the above date.

The only magazine worth getting is Fly Tyer and it's the only one that I get anyway.

Joe,
I'll be tying there also. I'm coming up on Sat morning and will be bringing the fishing gear for after hours.
I'll get in touch with Ted Patlen this week to see if he wants to hit the stream after the event.
Also if you can put aside a copy of Mike's book I would appreciate it.
