The morning is off to a great start! Registration is open and ready to provide registrants with their packets of info for the 2009 Conclave. There are lots of fly fishers greeting and talking with each other. It is so nice to see old friends and make new ones too!
Got time on your hands? Drive over to Baxter County Fairgrounds and give Terry Beeson and his crew a hand setting up the tying tables. I am sure your help and aid would be welcomed and appreciated.
