Date – February 20, 2010, Saturday 9-4
Place – Long Beach Casting Club
Cost – 10.00 includes BBQ burgers and dogs
RSVP – for casting, leader class and food 818.757-3474 or secretary@southwestcouncilfff.org

FLY TYING – 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
You may not be aware of this, but the SWC clubs have some of the most prominent and innovative tyers around. Bill Blackstone, Dean Endress, Mark Kirchner and John Vanderhoof will be on hand for demonstrations of their techniques. Maybe more! There will also be an auction for the really special one-of-a-kind flies and SWC clubs have donated flies for purchase.

In a related class, Mas Okui (Hot Creek Guru) will be teaching how to tie his freshwater leaders. The class is 30.00 which goes to purchase the leader kit with enough material to create bunches of leaders that make the manufactured ones blush in shame. Limited to the first 20 people. 10-11 a.m.

GARAGE SALE – 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
We need donated items to be sold in a fishing garage sale. These can be rods, reels, lines, clothing, vests or accessories. We are going to lay it all out on a table or a tarp and take the best offer we can get. Anything not sold will be donated to Project Healing Waters, Mammoth High School Fly Fishing Club or as needed by the SWC member clubs. Let’s get items that are in working order and have a value of at least $10. This not a swap meet – it is a HUGE YARD SALE. This is a great opportunity to get rid of extras, duplicates and unwanted gifts. Give any items to your SWCFFF representative or contact us directly at the number listed above.

CASTING – 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Want to be a better caster at the end of the day? Take a quick lesson and receive pointers from Certified Federation Instructors. For the nominal fee of $1.00 per minute (15 minutes minimum), you will have your casting analyzed by one of our great instructors. Single handed, Spey, double-haul - whatever you need, we can provide. Lessons will be available from 11am until 3 pm. Advance reservations are necessary so that we will have enough instructors on hand. Please RSVP by January 30 of your interest and approximate time. We will take care of the rest.

SILENT AUCTIONS – 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Select and special items will be on the tables all day in silent auctions. Auctions will run for 1.5 hours each so you can come anytime you want!

LIVE AUCTION – 1:30-2:30
We will be holding back the really special stuff for live auction. Fly plates, special flies, private casting lessons and even an Elkhorn bamboo rod. Wait until you see who we got as an auctioneer!
