TOLT MCDONALD PARK IN CARNATION WASHINGTON
Speyfair is going to have different venue this year. Keeping with suggestions of the patrons of the previous Speyfairs, we are going to run the presentations at the same time as the distance casting so we can provide a more diverse program. It will be more users-friendly. We will need a couple of people to help Friday with the course set up and other small items throughout the weekend.

Presenters
Mike Kinney: Wisdom of Speycasting
Brian Styskal: Long belly cast tuning
Charles St. Pierre: The Rio AFS head and Skagit Casting
Dan McCrimmon: Maximizing Your Cast. Using the new "Unified Theory of Fly Casting" to optimize your cast and reduce the amount of effort needed for good distance and comfortable fishing.
We still have a couple of others that may make it.

Schedule of events

Friday
Set up distance casting course.
Practice distance casting and start to qualify only if there is enough caster to warrant.

Saturday

Lunch: BBQ hamburgers and hot dogs available to purchase. Pre-order for Sunday's cold bag lunch.

Yeah, my question is the same. Maybe I'm just not cool enough to know about "speyfair". But it's awful hard for me to consider going if i don't know where it is.

Speyfair Update
Got the distance casting course set up thanks to Brian Styskal.
Gary Thayer helped setting up the Baroque Grill.
The rest of us cast and cast and cast.
When I left at 6:00 Dan McCrimmon and Mike Kinney were busy seeing who could cast the tightest loop with a 13ft 6 inch MKS and Airflo Compact Skagit.
More as the saga unfolds.
Shook the dust off a Lamiglas 12ft9in 6 piece 8/9 weight to try the AFS head and I was blown away. What is with this line? It likes any rod I put it on.

I'm in the middle of a house move and might be able to make it out Sunday. From the posts it seems like there is no definite schedule for anything other than lunch (which, I assume, occurs around lunch time). I was at the "Fly Fishing Exposition" (or something to that affect) in Duvall last year and they had hourly times when clinics were scheduled. Anything like that here?
