Spey Days

[Salmo_g]

Are any of you Spey reprobates planning to attend the Kaufmann Spey Days on the Skykomish at Lewis Street this weekend? I haven't spent a weekend in lively Monroe since the last time I attended this event. Anybody going and want to go out for a micro brew after?

[Will Atlas]

what day is the event happening?

[flybill]

Both days, Saturday and Sunday. 9:30am-4pm I believe.

I'm leaning towards stopping by Saturday, but don't know for sure yet.

I'm thinking about Sunday - I'd like to see Tyler Kushnir and Al Buhr.

If you are looking for a good micro-brew, hands down the Sailfish (on Lewis and Main St) is awesome. They serve beers from the Twin River Brewery next door. However - they are closed Sunday-Monday, so they'd be a Saturday option only.

Thought seriously about driving up from Ashland in the Motor Home .. then I started to track the Ashland/So. Oregon weather forecasts.:rofl: Glad I did!

Rain shifted to snow about 6PM last evening .. now 0909 the next morning ... and 8" on the ground and it's still coming down.:rolleyes: Forecast is predicting 'MOS' for the next several days. I-5 was shut down, even for 4x4's, last night; not sure if ODOT/CAL-DOT has reopened it yet.

I'll probably be there on Saturday - planning to stop in during the morning festivities, then off for a bit in the afternoon.

I'd definitely be up for a brew at one of the local pubs. We've also had an ongoing mexican feast / brewfest at Ixtapa that's been a lot of fun.

Either way, concluding an afternoon of testing out the latest greatest toys with a good dinner and a few cold ones :beer1: is the way to go!

I was thinking of dragging my boat up there in hopes of mixing in a little fishing, but river conditions and the weather forecast make me think that test casting and brew testing may be the better agenda. Then I won't have to mess with the boat.

[Brent Comer]

I hope to make it out there at least one of the days. See you there.

I have yet to catch Way Yin's presentation. I've seen the other presenters before. They are fantastic.

On that note: Are there any gear breakthroughs I really should try? I would like to try the SA Skagit lines.

[Big Tuna]

I'm going to be there on Saturday and plan to fish on Sunday. Hopefully the precip won't blow the rivers.

[KerryS]

I might be there Saturday. It is really a fishable thing from me. If the Skagit is fishable I will be fishing, if the river is not fishable, I will attend.
