It’s Fly Fishing
Fair Time
The Federation of Fly Fishers Southwest Council will be
holding its 2004 Conclave & Educational Fair on
Saturday and Sunday, November 20
and 21. Show hours are Saturday
9a.m.-6p.m., Sunday 9a.m.-3p.m.
The venue for our 2004 show is
the Anaheim Palms Corporate Center in a
huge, 25,000 square feet meeting room.
The Center is located at 2431 West La Palma Avenue,
Anaheim,
CA 92801. About one mile from Bob Marriott’s Fly Fishing Store, who
is co-sponsoring the event.
We’re adding celebrities every day, with speaking,
casting and fly-tying demonstrations from
Dave
and Emily Whitlock, Dave Hughes,
Rick Hafele, Sage rod designer
Jerry Siem, international fly-fishing couple Marika
and Alberto Salvini, spey-casting expert
Simon Gawesworth and many, many more. We’re adding more
fly-tiers to demonstrate their craft.
Planning a trip? We’ll have lodges and outfitters from
Alaska, Montana, Mexico, Costa Rica and other dream destinations to answer
your questions and help you plan your trip of a lifetime!
The move to this new location, The Corporate Center,
allows us to greatly expand our floor space. For 2004, we’re adding a third
giant casting pond, and three seminar rooms for speakers, lodge
presentations and demonstrations.
The South West Council/Federation of Fly Fishers will
host a silent auction where you can bid on fabulous gear generously donated
by our vendors. Food will be available, and a huge, wooded lawn—a perfect
spot for a picnic, surrounds the Conference Center!
Admittance to the Fair is $5.00 per person (kids under
12 are free), with proceeds benefiting the Federation. This is your
invitation to join us in making this the biggest and best fly fishing-only
show in Southern California! See you at the Fair!
We are seeking club members to help staff positions
such as ticket takers, pond/equipment monitors, set up and take down, etc.
Theses shifts are typically 4 hours, can be done on Saturday or Sunday,
either as a morning shift or afternoon shift. Set up for the Conclave will
be on Friday the 19th, therefore volunteers would need to be
present then.
We are going to have some great speakers and tiers, a
women’s fly fishing program, casting workshops and more, but we need your
help to make it a success. Remember this is “your” Conclave.
Those interested in volunteering, please contact Bob
Middo 310-798-2009 or threemiddos@aol.com
