Thursday 22nd July, 2008

Each year around this time men and women of all ages, shapes and sizes converge on some unsuspecting small town somewhere in Montana. From toddler to blue hair the thread that binds them together is a love of fly fishing and this is a chance to meet and learn from the best and perhaps share a pint or a stretch of the river some time during the week. This is the annual FFF Conclave.

In spite of a somewhat slow start we made it to our campground in Whitefish yesterday and even had time to stock up on groceries and beer before turning in for the evening. This morning we found that we share the campground with a number of friends that we’ve met during previous conclaves and that more of them will be trickling in in the next day or two.

Speculation is running rampant while we await the official kick off of activities. Who is coming this year and who can’t make it? Will Chase demonstrate his 130+ foot cast? Have Dan and Al worked the kinks out of the triangle cast and can it be done with Scandi lines? Did Paul donate socks to the auction this year? Will there be enough beer and beef at the barbecue this year? How far did the definitions committee get this year? Did George Bush actually float the Bow River?

Stay tuned for a full report next week!

Cheers,
Walter
