Posts: 1904 (02/07/10 17:01:58) Administrator Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	It has been suggested that we hold a Colorado Clave in conjunction with the AFFTA trade show which will be Sept. 9-11 in Denver. If there is interest out there I will begin to pull things together. I'm thinking that the Arkansas River in the Salida area would be a good place to hold a clave. There is plenty of open water available between Buena Vista and Salida and September fishing on the Ark is generally fantastic. There are several very good fly shops in the area and enough motels or camping spots to accommodate a good size crowd. Let's hear some ideas! wind knots & tangled lines Last Edited By: cofisher 07/14/10 16:06:20. Edited 3 times.

I'm excited! The Arkansas River fished great last year about that time. A few photos to spur more interest and discussion... Think hopper/droppers/BWO's. Good times! Pardon the Tenkara Ayu photo.

I'll either be in Yellowstone NP that weekend or flingin' flies with y'all on the Ark! [Or possibly in Ethiopia receiving our soon-to-be adopted son! Did you guys know they have trout in Ethiopia?!]

I would imagine Doug and Carl Sims will be in tow. I'll know more next week but I might be able to make that trip a "marketing research" expense...???

Dane, I know that you'll be here if it's at all possible and if you're here so is Doug. Let the good times roll... wind knots & tangled lines

Great idea, Howard. In September hoppers are still working, and flows are usually very fishable/wadeable.

I know it's early but which side of the AFFTA trade show are you thinking of having the clave on, before or after? Doug "Life is a journey; waiting for you to create your own adventure."

Howards - I thought a vasectomy a few years ago would take care of having more children in the future, but I forgot about a lobotomy! The idea of adoption was never part of our life plan; we already have 3 beautiful daughters (ages 3, 5, & 7) that keep our family dynamic fun and busy. But a couple years ago, we decided as a family (and with some other friends) to meet regularly and become more aware about situations that happen in the world around us and what our role can be in them. And after learning about orphan issues in the world, well, we decided that we had room in our lives for another child. I guess one can never have enough fishing partners, eh?

So how many do we have confirmed? Just Howard and I? Two might not be enough to be considered a Clave. www.FishyKid.org www.TheFiberglassManifesto.com Last Edited By: Cameron 02/19/10 19:41:57.

Surely you must have some cases that would warrant a trip to Colorado. Greenies are always committing crimes there and then sneaking back home. wind knots & tangled lines
