Some sad news, Since we have gotten big enough to attract attention, there will be no keg this year. Sorry, out of our control.

[DaBucket]

This has been a great event that keeps getting better. The raffels are awesome and all the money goes to a local Atlantic Salmon group grass roots from top to bottom..
This looks like the best one yet you have some of the top names in the sport and a ton of the best stuff on the market to play with.
Keep up the good work.

So "officially" there will be no beer, but people stopping in can bring their own adult beverages?

Here is this year's Wheatley box with flies that I am donating to Spey Nation V. A little bit of this and that with some no named married wings in the mix. I plan on putting in a few more flies as the time gets closer.

I just wanted to share some quick photos with more to follow later. I spent the day with the beneficiary of Spey Nation, The Fish Creek Atlantic Salmon Club and I am proud to announce that the proceeds have not been squandered. The great work of these volunteers continues. We put 4-6000 Atlantic Salmon Smolts into a historic watershed. Until the beginnings of the club in 1997, and the first stockings, Atlantic Salmon had not been seen in Fish Creek since the late 1800's. They swim in the creek now with anglers reporting 17-20 inch fish every year. One of the crews found a dead Salmon at 17 inches and will be sent to biologists for analysis. They will be able to determine if that fish made the lake and returned or stayed in the river it's entire life.

The Hatchery


The hatchery uses no electricity. It's water comes in from the dam spillway and uses gravity to flow through the tanks.
