Hey guys, I have retired from fly tyin’ demos for this years conference, but Eric West has given me permission to hang out at the moderator’s booth, on an “emeritus” basis.
I have given Brandon Powers a heads up on the conference and hope he will be able to make it and “carry the torch”.
Brandon is one to the very best fly tyers and fly casting instructors in the country, as well a TAMU graduate fisheries biologist.

Lusk has asked for ideas for discussion, so here’s a couple that have crossed my mind:
Realizing there is an “overlap” between hard core biology and practical stuff, I would like to suggest separate sessions for the “scientists’ and the every day pondmeister that faces, or will face real problems.
Having gone through a recent difficult fish kill and a fun re-stocking program, I would like to see these topics discussed.

Also, living with and maintaining a nutrient rich pond, and possible bacterial controls.
Thanks,
George
