2020 Blue Ridge Bamboo Gathering CANCELLED

#1

Post by Short Tip »

It is with great sadness and regret that we announce the cancellation of this year's Blue Ridge Bamboo Gathering.
We hope to see you sometime this fall, or next spring if necessary. Watch this space!

Hi folks, please be sure to mark your calendars for the 2020 Blue Ridge Bamboo Gathering, being held May 1st through 3rd, 2020 at Graves Mountain Lodge in Syria VA, 22743. We will once again be taking over the Poplar Lodge, which has nice little rooms, a large common room for buy/sell/trade as well as show & tell. Get a table for a 30.00 donation to the Trout Unlimited Tri-State Youth Camp, held at the same location in June. (http://www.tucamp.org). There's unlimited room outside for casting, a stocked trout stream on the lodge property, and miles of native brook trout streams in the adjacent Shenandoah National Park. The Rapidan River is minutes away. Rooms at the Poplar Lodge are small but comfy for 1 or 2 people. All lodging includes 3 all you can eat meals at the main lodge - Those who have attended know what a bargain this is! It's not a place for folks trying to lose weight. This year, rooms will also be available without the meal plan, but there isn't much else around and our communal meals are a highlight.

We don't really do a schedule or agenda, folks hang out, cast rods, fondle tackle, buy/sell/trade, form up groups to fish the area streams and see the local sights. It's a beautiful, historic area.

Our little event has grown each year, we'd love to have you as well. We dig all kinds of old tackle, not just bamboo, as well as current offerings of cane, 'glass and graphite. All are welcome!

Make reservations directly with Graves' Lodge, 540-923-4231
PM me, Paul Kearney, with questions or suggestions. You can also email me, paul@brooktrout.fishing

I assume this has been canceled and that we'll meet in Spring 2021?

Yep, maybe this fall if we're lucky.
