1st Annual PNW Fly Fishing Spring Fish In.

Location: Horne Lake Regional Park Campground
Dates: Friday May 26 to Sunday May 28, 2017
Families welcome and highly encouraged
Potluck Dinner Saturday Night
Fly Tying Comp
Games for Kids and kids at heart

More details to follow.......

Can everyone please let us know if you are interested, how many people in your party and if you will be bringing a trailer, camper, tent etc. We have a few options, and can book individual campsites inthe South Campground that are right on the Water, or can book one of the Group Campgrounds in the North Campground but we will only be limited to 2-3 trailers max, as they are not set up to hold trailers etc.

Personally I would like to Book sites 52-55 with have 2 shared sites and can hold 24 adults and 24 kids, if we need more sites we can book more.

Sites are $24 per night and can hold 4 adults and 4 kids for a Single, and the Double Site is $40 per night and holds 8 adults and 8 kids.

As long as you hang out with us and drink beers with us (bourbon if Paul comes) I think that will work out

I have mentioned this to appropriate people and it is being considered. Couple of Questions.

Any teenage kids coming or something for them to do, they are fairweather fisherman with limited sit in the boat abilities. 15yr old son & 13 yr old daughter. Both will play with younger kids for a while but not forever.

Where is most of the fishing going to happen? On Horne lake? or another local lake that is stocked?

I don't know how many other teenagers are coming at the moment, I do know some of the members who might come have older kids but the ones committed so far are older. I will be bringing a 19yr Japanese exchange student (boy) and might see if he wants to bring a friend. The Horne Lake caves will also be a cool excursion for the non fishers.

I would expect that we will be fishing both Horne Lake and Spider, and other options would be the Big Q.

We have not laid out a serious plan, but would like to have some family games that are not Fishing related such as toss the egg, bocce, three leg races etc. To keep everyone entertained etc.

We are definitely open to suggestions, as we want kids and spouses to want to come and have fun.

Hey Guys this is a Month away, I have just called in and Booked my Site which is 37S (shared). If you are interested in coming I have convinced the Reservation lady to hold off hold off booking the surrounding sites 34S-35-36. 34S is another shared site and is the largest and can accommodate large trailer and motor homes. I may have room for 1 more tent on my site, and it will also be Shared with my Neighbors who I am slowly getting into fly fishing.

She will hold on to the Site for the next few days before see may have to release etc. The Number to call is 250-248-0500 and let them know you are with PNW fly fishing or with me Jamie Ker.
