Gentlemen and ladies,
It gives me great pleasure to announce the sign-up for the 2012 edition of the "One Fly" Rendezvous.
This will be the 8th open editon of the event and the 11th since it's inception.
The rules for this event are simple:
You get One Fly (of your choice) and about 6 hours to catch as many fish with it as you can.
When you lose your fly you cannot count any more fish, for scoring purposes, but you can continue to fish in order to help your partner.
If, in some way you manage to retrieve your broken off fly, (From a tree, or from a fishes' mouth) you may re-tie to the remains of your original leader.
RE-RIGGING IS NOT ALLOWED.
This event is a fly fishing, catch and release event.
The judges will determine what is/isn't a fly.
If you have doubts, bring a pair of back-ups.
A fish is considered caught when it is brought "to hand", or netted, and measured; then released.
Only fair hooked fish may be counted.
The event is both an individual test and a team event.
You will fish as two man teams (You may pick your teammate, or sign up as a single and pm other singles to find a partner).
If all else fails we will try to find you a partner the day of the event.
But you may find yourself fishing with a grumpy old fat man, or a kid who will catch all the fish.
SCORING: (This may be revised after I talk to a few members)
Will be as follows:
You get 1 point for each inch of steelhead caught, and released, by 1/4 inch. (ie: a 20-1/2 steelie is 20.5 points).
You get 2 points for each inch brown trout caught, and released (ie: a 20 brown is 40 points).
Fishing will be in PUBLIC WATERS ONLY !!!!!!
ENTRY:
There are multiple catagories for entry.
The classes are:
Sub Junior: for children under 10 years old;
Junior: for those children who have not reached their 16th birthday;
Women: for all female members of the fraternity.
Open: for all people who are between the ages of 16 and 60, and those who have won a previous lower class. (So this year Skeeter and Jolene have to move up. Watch out men)
Senior: For those hearty souls who are 60 years of age or older.
First OUT: Each fisherman will be required to bring an additional, identical, fly with them to be turned in at sign in to be placed in a box and given to the person who is the first to lose his/her fly.
This is the "1st Out" prize, and was originally supposed to be a gag gift but when you have 100 people fishing it gets to be quite nice.
There will be boxes for all classes.
PRIZES:
This is a free event in as there is no entry fee.
But since it is also a Rendezvous we do ask that, if you attend, you bring a fishing related prize to be given away to one of your fellows.
However we will not turn away anybody.
There will be a list posted and you can contact me for donations or ideas.
We always attempt to make sure that every child who attends gets an identical prize so if you want you can donate a collection of small prizes (flies, tools, Silverados) for the kids.
Extras will be made into adult prizes.
FOOD:
You can bring food for the picnic (enough for you and a little more).
The "Night Before":
There will also be a gathering on Friday night "The Night Before" where you can meet and greet your friends.
The "Night Before" is a pay-as-you-go, sit down dinner, at a local resturant. See sign-up sheet to be posted later.
POKER GAME:
We are also planning a Poker game to raise money for the Fruit baskets program.
This will be administered by Deetz (Hopefully)!
WHEN and WHERE: (Note a Few Changes)
We will meet at Folley's End Campground, at the pavillion, starting at 5 am on Saturday the 27th of October.
Sign in will be from 5AM to 6AM (please try to be early because it takes a while to get your ID badges handed out and your first out flies collected).
FISHING:
Will be from 6:30AM to approx 12:30PM.
We will all meet back at the pavillion at 1PM for a picnic and games (organized by Doubletaper - Hopefully?) and the awarding of prizes and drawings for the donated gifts.
These activities will continue till approximately 6PM.
CAMPING:
If you plan on Camping during the event we recommend 'Uncle Johns' campground, or Folleys End, where the event is being held.
If your stuck for a gift donation we recommend calling Fish USA for ideas.
And a big thanks to them for providing the web space.
This is the sign-in space so I'll start it.
If you wish to attend just post your name and partners name here.
NOTE: If you have not attended before, or if I don't recognize your screen name I will ask you to comfirm by a PM to me with a good e-mail or phone number.
And I would like to get e-mails/numbers from everybody so I can keep track.
Last year we had ?? people sign-up who didn't attend/cancel or which were bogus so too many people had to be turned away.
We have to limit this to 100 attendees so get your name in promptly.
Please denote if female, senior, or junior.
As Always Thank You,
Rick Frisco
