Life of the Party
You guys have any thoughts on timing and location. Last year’s fling was fun and I like the location at the Redmond park. I will bring new toys and new arrivals to this get together let me know what works for you guys. Tight lines
 
I may be out of town that weekend, but I'd like to attend. Been a long, long time since I've seen Mike, Tim & Kent, and there are a lot of guys I've traded messages with who I've never met.
 
I will either be with Salmo or on my way to Montana.
 
Nice to see someone else has picked up the ball and put the Bamboo Fling on the calendar. I will be getting back from a week of fishing near Kamloops BC on the 5th. If I can unload from one trip and load up for the Fling in time, I will do my best and try to make it. I was talking to a fellow form the Bainbridge Island Fly Fishing Club last Saturday. He expressed interest in holding the Fling on the west side of the sound. Since I live in Silverdale and have hosted the Fing twice at Island Lake, I know it can be done. On the other hand, I will participate as long as it is held somewhere in central Puget Sound. Hope to see you all on the 6th. By the way I have a couple of new acquisitions, a 130 year old Hardy rod and a new rod from a new maker, Olivia Elia.

FYI, Olivia has been posting videos over the last week or so of her working on a new guitar being made for Billy Strings in the Preston Thompson Guitars workshop in Sisters OR. I think the videos are posted in the section of Instagram where the video disappears at some point so they may be hard to locate. For Billy Strings and high-end acoustic guitar fans like me, those videos are really cool. Ron
 
Anyone know how to make Oliva Elia aware of the Bamboo Fling? I plan to show off the rod she built for me. It would been nice if she could be there to show off some more of her work.
