Thank you. I can't wait to cast all of your latest efforts Jim. Always a treat!

[Canewrap]

I agree with Jim, I'm real impressed and glad that I'll be able to be there this year. I will be bringing a rod or two that have been hard to match a line to.

Hey Paul and all of the Bamboo Bash Guys and Gals. Anna and I will be there. Glad to know about the classroom presentations at Little River Outfitters. I always love attending those and it looks like a great line up for this year. Looking forward to seeing everyone again.

You like Brook Trout, right??
……………..… . . . that's native Brook Trout, right??

Yea, thought so.
Sometimes I just find myself at the right place at the right time. Look what I found:
Here is a timely link to a great short video featuring our BambooBash20 Friday TackleTalk speaker
................. - Supervisory Fishery Biologist Matt Kulp of the National Park Service -
discussing the very topic of this year's gathering, native trout management in Great Smoky Mountains NP.

Paul, if I am able to make it down to Tennessee this year I will. Hope to get down there. Thanks for organizing Paul. Jed

Jed- I hope you can make it! You will love the line lab....If you have a rod that you have been looking for that perfect line, it will probably be there. Best, Munsey

Can any one recommend a good campground close to the gathering. Martha and I are thinking of attending!

Ye Olde Mill campground is within walking distance!!

[fefferje]

Thanks Munsey for the encouragement. Jed

Hey Tom!
Camping in a Great Smoky May can be great!
In addition to the Olde Mill, these two other campgrounds have served the Bash attendees well in the past:

Hope to see you there!!

We might add... If a room comes available, it's cheaper than staying at the campground. Rooms are $35/night and the new camping fee is $50... nuf said??

Tom- I sure hope you and Martha will make it! I know the folks at this gathering would love to see some of your amazing flies!

[upstate]

Thank you Munsey! Martha and I are working on it but as I told Bob Narcodog and Ralph CZ kidI am very shy!

Tom, Don't you worry... the crowd at the Bash is very much like our group at Denton Ferry. Martha will be well supported as well. The area is reminiscent of Cotter and prices are the same or lower. Also a very nice fly shop close by that we use for presentations... Little River Outfitters. You should be very comfortable.

Tom- it is a shy kind of group....once we have a few drinks, we lighten up a bit

you are convincing me ! Trying to get Canazon to go too! MikeC(he's not shy) but he's good at having a few drinks!

Tom

[munsey w]

That would be awesome to have Canazon! The Catskills come to TN!

I think what this thread needs is a few photos from the 2019 Bash. I'm pretty sure the 2020 Bash will set a new high water mark
