John Loebach Posted September 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2020 Bring a folding chair, it makes it easier to stay safe. Picnic tables don't work well to maintain 6" distance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Ferguson Posted September 12, 2020 Report Share Posted September 12, 2020 Looks like rain is going to keep me away from this event. Too bad..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Loebach Posted September 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2020 Good turnout - 21 signed in plus a few more. Rain wasn't too bad & it stopped by 10:30. Both shops brought some great new gear and Doug Taylor helped with spey casting lessons. It was good to see some familiar faces but there were 7 who were first time at the event. Thank you to all who came and to Jeremy & Zach from Dupage Fly & Ike from Orvis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Dodge Posted September 14, 2020 Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 Good to hear. Any decision on whether or not you’re going to try and hold The Early Show? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Loebach Posted September 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 No Early show this year. Mayslake posted no outside rentals for 2020 back in May. I may make up the Cane Cast & Compare on 10/17 if Glenwood is open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
