Nice fish and report Fly Guy...thanks.
So, I take it you agree with Bjorn? I was trying to whip up enthusiasm and participation for the NCFFB Bash. Looking at the attendance sheet it really appears the vast majority of us attending are the "old timers" who have been here through the thick and thin. As my failing memory recalls, large amounts of money have been raised at past few bashes which went towards keeping it up and running. It is amazing to me how few of us have provided time, manpower, effort and not a little cash outlay into making this one of the past best boards there was...sadly, that's no longer the case. Rod building classes, casting instruction, fly tying lessons, all provided by persons who had an interest in keeping the board alive and were willing to step up and pay out of their own pocket for materials, finish and equipment to meet that goal. Too bad the new timers don't have that dedication. I know many more besides myself are not participating because of this new behavior.
Well, this is my last Bash, most likely, and with the lack of participation and support I believe the board will be down the toilet within a year or so. I hope not, but with the sense of apathy and self gratification that exists here now I fear that is what the future will bring. I will leave it to the "New Timers" of NCFFBer's to carry the torch.
