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
