Bring one or more of your new or favorite rods to compare to others. This is a great chance to try other rods on the water to see what you like. If you are new to fly fishing come out & learn!

Test new gear from  Orvis Yorktown & Dupage  Fly Fishing are coming.

Join us & bring a mask. We will practice social distancing as required. 

Casting space on shore  but bring your waders we're right on the Fox river.

Bring a folding chair, it makes it easier to stay safe. Picnic tables don't work  well to maintain 6" distance.

Looks like rain is going to keep me away from this event. Too bad.....

[John Loebach]

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.

Good to hear. Any decision on whether or not you’re going to try and hold The Early Show?

[John Loebach]

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.
