That's a long weekend with the ADAA Sunday event.

Will make at least one of them - which one I'm not sure.
Still trying to get Paul Proctors' floating beetle c/w sighter tag pattern, as seen in one of the mags.

In addition to the two day event in Banchory Orvis are hosting a demo day at the ADAA bothy in Aberdeen on Sunday 26th.

There will be casting demonstrations on the water given by Paul Procter, Willie Banks, Allan Everington and myself covering various single & double handed techniques & set ups.  There will also be the chance to try pretty much the full range of Orvis rods & lines and most of the latest Rio Spey gear on the water giving anglers the chance to try their prefered line on an Orvis rod or try another line on their own rod.  Tuition will also be available.

There will also be tying demos throughout the day in the bothy given by Kevin, Peter & Paul Procter.

The event is open to all, not just ADAA members so, we hope to see you there!


Cheers

Don't know about you and Paul Ben but Kev and I had a great day in the warm bothy. Anyway thanks for the invite & to the kind folk from the ADAA for the coffee & rolls :z18.

Hope everyone had a good time who came along & that you took away some tips if not materials. :grin

Oh and if any of the younsters who tied flies read this.... tight lines - you did a great job of your first flies. :grin :z16

Anyone that missed the Orvis days on Friday & Saturday at Banchory or the one at the ADAA bothy on Sunday really missed out. The tuition & demo's, both casting and tying were great.

Well done to Ben, Paul, Peter, Kevin & the ADAA.

Inspirational stuff.
