We had a great time at The Fly Fishing Show in Pleasanton, California last weekend. Great attendance and lots of folks stopped by my booth to chat about bamboo fly rods. Mary Ann taught two fly casting classes and gave a casting demonstration on Adjusting your casting stroke for varying distances of casts.

After the show was over, I got the chance to drive over to Golden Gate Park in San Francisco to the Casting Ponds and Anglers Lodge supported by The Golden Gate Casting Club. What a great and inspiring facility, with many, many years of fly fishing tradition. Here are a few photos:

Lots of old rods and flies on display.

Well, how far did you cast in the pond?
Hi Paul,
Good to hear from you. I have to admit that I didn’t try to keep with some of the folks who were casting spey rods there at the ponds. I just took two of my slower action bamboo rods over to the corner of the ponds and worked on presentation casts rather than distance. There were a couple of guys who looked like they were practicing for the upcoming Spey-O-Rama casting competition next month. Boy, can those guys cast!
