Orvis / Barrio Day at Haddo

« **on:** 21/02/2013 at 13:52 »

Hi All,

Mike has very kindly agreed to host Orvis Banchory and hold an Orvis / Barrio at Haddo on Sunday 14th April 2013.

We will have a good selection of rods and lines from Orvis Barrio and Mackenzie and, all the key pieces from the 2013 Orvis fishing catalogue. Waders, jackets, reels etc.

Bring your lines along to try on our rods or your rods to try with Barrio Orvis or MacKenzie lines.

Orvis endorsed guides Hamish Young, Kevin Muir and Peter McCallum will be there with me to offer short free 15 minute casting tuition / tune up sessions.

If there are any specific obscure bits of kit you'd like to see please drop me a PM and I'll do my best to make sure I have it with me

Hope the weather holds and hope to see you there!

Cheers

Ben

I think we are really lucky to be able to go to such events.

Thanks for sorting it out chaps.

Thanks Mike for being so forward thinking

I will be there (without the money for either a MacKenzie switch rod or Helios2) .

Ben

What do you have in a 10ft 6" 6 weight ?

Jim

« **Reply #21 on:** 23/02/2013 at 23:17 »

Hi Jim,

May have a 10' #6 but that would be the closest. Orvis do not do a 10'6" rod, was hard enough to get them to produce a 10'er in anything other than a #7!

Cheers

Ben

Ben,,
Can you bring the helios switch and the Mackenzie switch with the Barrio switch lines as I am seriously interested in these as low water summer salmon and sea trout rods?

Eddie.
