Not a problem. Good to meet you too, Jimmy. Thanks again for the tips on the White. Just gotta keep my fingers crossed for some low water this week to try them
out. I'm sure I'll stop back in to grab a few more supplies and drop some more change afterwards...

Actually Jimmy, the rods and reels are for sale. $150 for the rod and $90 for the reel. Of course a portion of this goes to our Retreat.
The gift certificate was a donation though. Alot of nice rods available from TFO. Zack Hoyt

Nice TFO stuff!
Anyone planning on fishing at beaver the morning of the event? Might have to get up there a bit earlier and hit the water, generation permitting. |

I will be up early, but probably setting up tables and finishing up last minute junk. Hoping water holds, but we ahve got some good rain the past few days.

Thank you to all of the workers (Toby and Zach), attendees, donors and of course Beaver Dam Store and Spider Creek Resort.
We raised $1883.00 at the event. We also recieved $100.00 from the "Float the Whole Durn Thing" and a donation of $700.00 each from Arkansas Chapter TU and Tightlines Flyfishers to sponsor a participant each. Hear that other FFF clubs and TU chapters and SCFFF. Total for the day $3383.00. Thank you everyone. I am and I'm sure Charlie would be very proud. See everyone at Mountain River Fly Shop next Saturday, June 20th. Don't forget to get your tickets for Reel Aid set for August 7th.

For anyone interested, I have two of the Reel Recovery rods and three of the Reel Recovery reels. I will have these with me this weekend during the Family Fun
Day at the Mountain River Fly Shop. The rod and sock is $150 and the reel is going for $90. Drop me a line or grab me at the event to see either.

Zack,
I was asked this question. If we know someone who could be considered for the event at Cedarwood lodge, what is required, and how would they make the application. What would be the costs, if any. Davy
