The N.S.F.G.C, held the first annual chum derby and spey demo. Cliff asked me too do the demo and it was alot of fun showing the guys what speyfishing was all about. And explaining how it makes life easier on the river, and is less tiring on the body, and also how you can cover more water in a single cast. The day started at 7:30am, and as everyone was getting organized, I gave a brief discussion on how it all works. We met at Judd Rd, at Fisherman's Park, a popular spot with easy access too the river. We set up at the sandy bar, and soon I had a group around me and I was showing them the casts, and how they work too get the line out into the river.. Afew of the guys allready had spey rods, so they were asking me questions and getting alittle more knowledge. I let some of the guys try it that didn't know how too and they had a blast learning something new. One guy I showed said that he had so much fun getting a lesson that he was going too get a set up of his own. That's pretty cool!!.. As the day went on some of the guys tried too get that all important chum to win the derby and claim his prize. That didn't happen where we were, but three other members were fishing where the Cheakamus, runs into the Squamish and had lots of fish on there, and at the Native run at the reserve area. They came back with the pics of the biggest fish to win the coveted prize, and stand victorious.. We had a bbq, that consisted of smokies and a can of pop. What a day it was super fun. And my buddy Cliff did a great job putting the whole thing 2gether.. It was great to see him and all the other guys that I new back when I was a member of the club..
