FishTales Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Join Fish Tales staffers for Spey-O-Rama and Rio area sales representative - Ruben Breitkreutz for the Rio Distance casting Challenge this Sunday starting at 1 o-clock. These events are Fish Tales' last Sunday sessions of the season and will be held at Bankside in Fish Creek Park. Stop by to test cast a few spey rods and participate in the distance casting challenge. Fish Tales will provide a variety of spey demo rods and have the Airflo and Rio head kits on-site for folks to try out. We'll also be helping Ruben with the Rio Gold WF5F Distance casting challenge. Participants will each have 5 attempts to cast as far as possible with a Rio WF5F Gold Tournament line on a Sage TCX 5wt rod. Each competitor in the distance challenge will receive a 3 pack of 9 ft, 5X leaders, and the top three casters will win a fly line of choice; First place wins a fly line up to $75 in value, 2nd place any line from the new, award winning Avid Series, and the 3rd place will win a Mainstream fly line. Everyone is welcome to attend.... This Sunday's events wrap up our Sunday seminar sessions for the season. Watch our Facebook page and fishtalesflyshop.com for next season's schedule which will be posted in late summer. Thanks to everyone for supporting this year's seminar lineup. We welcome your suggestions for topics for next season. #626, 12100 Macleod Trail PH: 403-640-1273 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
