I am so looking forward to the Gathering...the wonderful company of the Daufel Brothers and all attendees, the glorious bamboo rods to admire, and Bozeman’s magnificent Blackbird Cafe and Jam Restaurants! Donna and I will soon be on our way from Colorado. Best, Bob

Ha! We just had breakfast at "Jam" yesterday. Top shelf. Not a fan of Blackbird. Try Fresco Cafe on Mendenhall! Or maybe Blacksmith Italian on Kagy! :)

Hi Mark - Some years ago we had our daughter’s wedding rehearsal at Fresco Cafe and it was wonderful. Yet for our family Blackbird’s bread and pizza crust are the best...currently have 2 dinner reservations scheduled at Blackbird. We will be eating at Jam everyday we are in Bozeman. I hope to meet you at this year’s gathering, or maybe at Jam. Best Regards, Bob

Dan - My apologies for getting off topic and into food. Best, Bob

For what it's worth. There is a fellow bringing a number of older Fenwick glass rods to share and or sell. He stated some were from the 50's and in mint condition. Just FYI. The fellow is unknown to me, and I have no financial interest. (Other than I may purchase the right ones. :) )

I'll be bringing one of the most beautiful T&T's the Amabilis 8' 3/2 5wt. #2 to look at along with a Payne 102 Light DF 5wt. (you can cast) which I consider the best of the Payne's 5wts + a 1970''s Winston fiberglass 8' 2/1 5wt. medium-fast.
Looking forward to seeing you all.
Dennis

Enjoyed meeting everyone out there in Bozeman. Have to say the 16 hour drive home was rough. :)

I forget who was asking about the black rubber button for the salmon rod fighting butt. I finally remembered where I had seen them if you are checking out this post. Look for Belvoirdale website. They used to sell them not sure what the status is now.

Thanx Bill! Good to chat with you by the way. Love the color schemes of your rod finishes.
