Just got back from the GL Clave. As far as I am concerned – and I think everyone who attended feels the same way – it was a great success. Weather was great; turnout was far higher than anticipated; literally everyone who was there was a pleasure to be with; and I was able to confirm what I had suspected going in to the clave – I am a klutz when it comes to fishing a two-handed rod. Hope, however, springs eternal. With the instruction provided by Neal, Juro, and Bob, I may remain a klutz, but hopefully will understand what I am doing wrong.
Thanks to Ty, Neal, Juro and I don’t know whomever else, there was a truly amazing array of spey set-ups available to try out. I leave it to Dan to post the well deserved “thanks yous” to all the folks who provided the equipment, instruction, and otherwise helped to make the clave the success it was.
Last, but not least, it should be beyond cavil (that’s one of my favorite hoity-toity words), that Dan did a bang-up job. If that guy who kept bad-mouthing Dan and questioning his sincerity and ability to perform was among the group, he didn’t introduce himself. The event proved that Dan can handle himself very well and I, for one, am happy he had the idea for the clave and followed through so competently in pulling it off.

P.S.
I think Hal may have left his love at the altar.
