We had a fantastic virtual gathering yesterday, with about 40 "bamboo guys and gals" joining in. We heard about 406 Fly Lines...some interesting new lines on the market from a small company in Montana, Jay Hieb showed a cool model he came up with for determining guide spacings on rods, Scott Grady shared some of his great jigs that he's developed to make rod building easier, and I gave a presentation on "How your Casting Style Affects Your Choice of Rod Tapers". These virtual gatherings have been fun, and thanks to Lowell Davis for putting them on. I encourage any of you who are interested in these gatherings, please join us...everyone is welcome.

Does anyone have a link to Jay Hieb's parabolic guide spacing excel sheet? He had mentioned there was a link in the chat but unfortunately I am watching these after the fact and don't have access. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I really enjoyed watching the VRG Presentations Videos. I wish to see more, but the last one posted was 12-12-2020. Is there more new ones to be posted or are they available somewhere else?

Dan,
There will be more videos posted. Lowell's son edits the videos and does a professional job (Its his full time job). He does the editing when he has some free time. He has been short of free time lately.
The next live one is May 22.
