bamboo fly rod builder Chris Raine is holding yet another Great Western Bamboo Rod Makers Gathering, and if your tastes run to bamboo fly rods, smoked ribs and crowds of
cranky, badly-in-need-of-fiber bamboo fly rod builders, then you know where you'll be on October 30, 31.
This, Undergrounders, is your chance to fondle, cast, and fall in love with a bamboo fly rod you can't possibly afford, and that you do so against the backdrop of the October Caddis hatch should make for a few interesting discussions around the dinner table (but honey, all the
other guys are doing it...).
In his typically flowery, detailed writing style, Raine gets the details down (Chris, we love ya, but try using an adjective every once in a while):
Save this date: October 30 and 31. Friday night at Raine Hollowbuilt Fly Rods. Saturday morning at the Community Building next to the Ball Field. Saturday evening at the Lions Club, next door to the Community Building.
Friday evening will be smoked ribs and chicken, along with some beans.
Saturday meals will be on your own. Coffee and pastries in the AM.
No notice posted yet on Raine's rod building blog, but expect something soon.
