PNW Fly Fishing Semi-Official Swap, Shop, Fish & Eat - May 17, 2025

[Zak]

Group site has officially been locked down. We are keeping the original picnic shelter on the beach as well so we have a for sure place open for test casting on the water. Basically, we're taking the whole place over

If you want to get in on the group site, click the link below. We will be in touch with details for everyone who gets one reserved. All group site reservations will be for The night of the 16th and 17th. No single nights as I don't want to deal with the comings and goings and schedulings of everyone. It's cheap enough compared to the main campground that it makes sense either way.
RESERVE A SITE

I just paid for a tent site in the group site. I still have my waterfront Campsite 48 booked for the night of May 17, and I'll hold onto that for a bit in case we run out of space in the group site (in which case, I'll give up one of my sites to someone who needs one).

Fermented herring...

You know, the stuff that's not good enough to cut plug after sitting in the sun all day...

 

[Jacob Watrous]

Akvavit, yes, Lutefisk ... NO!!!

I’ll have you know you’re in the presence of a 2x Poulsbo Vikingfest Lutefisk Eating Contest Champion and former MC.

Edit: Booked a tent site. Will be me, my canoe (with possible open seat), and maybe one or both of my kids (9 and 12). No lutefisk.

Wonder if I should get like... Lanyards so we can all have name tags.

This should be a lot of fun. We’ll have to put out a chair for OMJ.

I'll bring Jim.. he made me this hat at my request.. RIP OMJ!

if I had his stinky waders I would raffle them off..

BTW...if Jerry is staying overnight and willing, I would be more than happy to pay for a Sunday morning breakfast too! I'd like to watch him do his magic too.

Me too!!

I will have campsite 17 for Sat to Sunday. I believe we can put two vehicles at a campsite. I'll be arriving Sat morning and can help set up and since I'm leaving Sunday I can help break down. I might be partaking of some refreshment also....so probably good not to drive home Sat night.
Did I understand the group site was reserved only for Fri to Sat?

 

[clarkman]

or is it Friday night and Saturday night?

 

[Zak]

Well, yeah. But they should be our forum names. Then if see someone wandering around the park we'll know they're cool because they have a lanyard.

 

[Evan B]

The group site is booked from Friday afternoon through Sunday morning.

As for set up and tear down, I think mostly guys will have their own stuff. Jerry may need some assistance, but I'll wait for him to let us know about that.

that's what I thought....

Now, I know we have a few months, but if anyone wants any like... Scheduled activities, we should think of them now.

I think there's a horseshoe pit. I don't have a set any more, but I'd play if someone brings them. Or bocce.

I have bocce buried somewhere in the garage.

Could maybe do fly casting golf. That can be fun. It's like bocce, but with a frisbie and fly rod.

I'll do some casting instruction. Basic two handed casting.. a 30 minute 101 level.. if there's interest.. I'll have some extra rods to lend out.

I'm interested! And a complete novice to spey casting. I have a 10' 3wt single hand rod with an OPST Skagit head I'd like to learn how to cast.

Sheet, I could probably use a simple single hand lesson let alone a two handed. In all seriousness, that sounds awesome as I’ve never had any kind of casting instruction outside of YouTube.

I could do that if I stayed the night.

I can do that too!
