29th annual Toledo Bend Rendezvous this weekend!

What is Rendezvous?  It's the largest annual gathering of fly tiers in our state, with no planned activities but plenty of fly tying, food, and fishing. Held annually at North Toledo Bend State Park near Zwolle, the event is co-sponsored by the Gulf Coast and Texas Councils of Fly Fishers International, and is open to the public. It kicks off Friday afternoon and ends after breakfast on Sunday morning. Many of the top tiers from the Ark-La-Tex region and beyond will be on hand tying at the numerous tables inside the large dining room.

Five bunkhouses are reserved for overnight stay on Friday, Saturday or both nights. The 2-night fee is $50 family, $40 single, and 1-night fee is $25 family, $20 single. Those coming just for the day Saturday are asked to make a donation to help offset the rental fees. For more details on this event, check Bowfin47's post on the General Discussion forum.  Or go to this link at Walter McLendon's website.

Once again, Glen Cormier attended the ICAST / International Fly Tackle Dealer trade show back in July and has lots of new products to report on.  He'll give us a slide presentation on "What's New for 2018" covering fly fishing, kayak fishing and accessories.  Many of these new products are now available or will be available in stores shortly.  He'll also give us a "State of the Sport" summary on the latest trends in fly fishing. 


As always, our meetings are open to the public. Bring a friend!
