Jack Coyle, Tom Clark and 'Father' Jack Moskus getting ready to cast a bamboo rod inside Tom's metal-working business to avoid the 20 degree temperature outside

The fly fishing show in Michigan was educational as usual and we all had a good time, even making a few sales. I had just returned from CA where I visited with my old shop mate, Mario Wojnicki and cast in a tournament at the Oakland Casting Club. That got me so fired up that I am re-designing my trout fly tournament rod and returning to the GGACC for the 100th national tournament there this summer, some new bamboo in hand.
