Better yet, how about we all get tables together for the banquet.

I'll wear my PNW Fly Fishing hat!

We should all meet for lunch or a heckling session on Saturday

I like lunch

I eat like a hobbit, so breakfast, second breakfast, lunch, snacks, dinner and second dinner... I'll join for something... pretty sure I'll make it this year.. first timer.. but I've wanted to go for a long time! Cheers! Just call me Bilbo!

Both are good, but some of us won’t be around for the banquet.

 

[WonkyWapiti]

OK, bought my banquet ticket and signed up for a couple seminars. Looking forward to this!

 

[Evan B]

BTW, the forum is going to have a booth there. I'll be flying solo because my colleagues don't wanna.

Open to any and all fun ideas to make our booth interesting. I'd kinda like to do some kind of weird tying contest where we post the entries up in a thread to be voted on or something. Still brainstorming.

Raffle off a case of some local adult beverage. You will get a lot of new names/email addresses of potential new members.

Think there's laws against that kinda thing unfortunately

Maybe some PNWFF member has a rod/reel/line setup that is willing to donate for a raffle prize?

 

[RCF]

Maybe some members would provide/donate some flies. Raffle a box of musky flies, raffle a box of bass poppers, raffle a box of chronomids, etc.

Same here. FWIW, last year's banquet sold out at the very beginning of the first day's registration. I think I was lucky enough to "get" the next-to-last available ticket.

Very cool. I'm looking forward to meeting you guys.
EDIT - Will you have PNWFF hats there for sale?

I like that idea. I could donate several musky flies (say, 2 of my larger articulated ones)

 

[PhilR]

Dang. Might not be back from DC in time for this.

I’d donate some flies if there’s no concern about quality

This was my thought as well

The pitch:
Join the forum and you can tell these guys how bad their flies are!
