[cool][#0000ff]We have quite a few BFTers who have expressed a desire to learn more about drop shotting and in other kinds of rigging. Bassrods has established himself as a knowledgeable and successful angler on Utah waters, and he uses dropshots more than almost any other rig. He has agreed to put on a brief "seminar" on the subject.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]My suggestion for time and place would be Willow Park Pond, on Tuesday evening about 6 PM on June 12. If Bassrods trailers his boat to the parking lot, he can use it as a platform to demo the rigging and the fishing technique. We can then move to the tables to show knot tieing and other rigs. Of course, we could also shift over to the water and play with some hatchery pets. [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]We have a couple of weeks before the 12'th. If anyone has suggestions for a different venue or time...or has special requests for rigs to be included in the agenda, post up your comments.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]This will be open to any and all who want to show up. There should be plenty of opportunity for everyone to get a good look and to ask their questions.[/#0000ff]

[cool][#0000ff]Big parking lot with lots of turnaround space for the boat. Should be fine.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]No tables though. I will bring a couple of six footers we can set up next to the boat for tackle display. Don't have chairs for a lot of folks so bring your folding camp chairs or whatever.[/#0000ff]

I was not going to put my boat on the water just use it so who is doing the demo can be seen by all, like a stage or platform....

[cool][#0000ff]Hey...it is the 12th. Sorry about that everybody. [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Hey Chuck, I did that on purpose, just to see if you were still lurking out there and would catch it. I knew I could count on ya.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]How are you and are you doing any fishing?[/#0000ff]

[cool][#0000ff]It is not going to be an "all nighter" and it ain't gonna be formal. Bring whatever liquid or munchies you think you might need to get you through Bassrods' dissertation.[/#0000ff]

I have been there a couple of times over the past few weeks. I will say it is a [url "mailto:B%$@*TCH"]B%$@*TCH[/url] to find. I found going straight west on 6400 so. When you hit the end of the Golf Course (there is a chainlink fence) turn right then go maybe 10 blocks and you are at the parking lot.
Have fun guys, there are some impressive fish in there.
