Gentlemen and ladies,
It gives me great pleasure to announce the sign-up for the 2013 edition of the "One Fly" Rendezvous.
This will be the 9th open editon of the event and the 12th since it's inception.
MY MOTTO FOR THIS YEAR IS BACK TO THE BASICS!
Limiting to 50 participants!
Original participants and those that have added to the good times and not worried about winning something are all welcome!
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.
SCORING:
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:
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.
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 50 people fishing it gets to be quite nice.
PRIZES:
In all truthfulness, I am not even worried about the prizes this year.
Those that donate; I am grateful; those that share their presence and fish stories, I am just as grateful!
And No, we will not sit around for an hour to distribute prizes. Its about the get together and company, NOT the 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.
There will be a list posted and you can contact me for donations or ideas.
I am thinking about pulling names from a box and taping your names to any prizes you are picked for then when we return to the pavilion, the prizes are already picked and you can pick them up once we have ate from the Pot Luck! (hidden until we eat of course)
I will put my wife (who is gracing us with her presence this year) in charge of this.
FOOD:
We ask that ALL participants bring food for the picnic (enough for you and a little more).
WOOD:
If you are local to the area, please let me know if you can bring some wood for the fire pit!
We will need a bunch for both Friday and Saturday!
The "Night Before":
NOTE THE CHANGE:
There will also be a gathering on Friday night "The Night Before" where you can meet and greet your friends.
The "Night Before" will be held at the Pavilion at Foleys End Campground.
We will fire up the grill at dark and cook, drink, laugh, gamble and who knows what else!
See sign-up sheet at bottom of info.
POKER GAME:
We are also planning a Poker game at the Night Before to raise money for the Fruit baskets program.
This will be $10 buy in's throughout the night!
WHEN and WHERE:
We will meet at Folley's End Campground, at the pavillion, starting at 7AM on Saturday the 26th of October.
Sign in will be from 6AM to 8AM (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 8:00AM to approx 2:00PM.
We will all meet back at the pavilion at 2PM for a picnic and games 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.
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 50 attendees so get your name in promptly.
Please denote if female, senior, or junior.
As Always Thank You,
Rick Frisco
