And a third state is heard from. Welcome magicmike. And now that he's retired and has nothing better to do, it's time for jgestar to make another trip to a Texas clave. What about it, Tom?

Larry.

Yeah, I've noticed that retirement doesn't seem to have given me a lot more time to play as I thought it would. Now it generally seems to mean I have time to do the things my wife wants done, or I have to be there for the grandkids, or whatever. I knew you had moved to North Carolina, but don't think of it as a much longer drive, think of it as a chance to spend some time exploring the country as you drive down. And rent a van, that way you will have more room for gear and a bigger suitcase.

Less than two months away and I'm getting antsy. Have been tying flies, checking my camping gear to ensure I have everything I need, getting ready to organize and reorganize my vest or shoulder sling bags, etc. Have spent an inordinate amount of time following streams and looking at stream crossings in the Georgetown/Austin area on Google Earth Pro. Now I just have to hope the event doesn't get rained out.

Larry

Curtis- looking forward to seeing you

Les

Thinking about it. Will anybody be targeting Carp?
Rick

If I see one feeding I might throw a fly to it, unless of course if I am using a 1 or 2 weight. Even then it might be fun for a few seconds.

Larry

Carls bringing the gumbo, and I'll bring the purelll. Unless things change

This thing should be wound down by then....I ain't skeered

The North Gabe has a terrific carp fishery. 5-10 pound fish in clear water. There's a very productive reach a few miles upstream from Tejas.

I think I will wait until about April 10 to make a decision for myself. My wife and I had planned to go to Eureka Springs, AR with our daughter and her family next week during Spring Break, but we cancelled the trip. My wife was concerned about a possibly crowded resort town with people from everywhere, but as for myself I wasn't all that keen on Eureka Springs anyway. Also, our cat has definite separation anxiety and I hate to leave her alone for more than a day. Gotta take care of my little furry buddy.

Bad news. I received an e-mail from the Corps of Engineers. Tejas Park the location for the conclave is now officially closed through April, and quite possibly for longer than that. They have already refunded my payment for the group camp site. Most of the Texas state parks are still open, but any park associated with anybody diagnosed with Co-vid 19 will be closed. This makes it very problematic to try to go on with the conclave. I was afraid it might come this. So the conclave is cancelled for now. Possibly can set one up in a few months depending on how long this pandemic goes on. As Aaron said, everyone stay healthy, and try to get in some "social distancing" with your fly rod somewhere.

Larry

Maybe this fall?

I don’t know about the hill country but lake grapevine is full. I think they could close the road over by my house if we get much rain. The lake is about 10 to 15 feet from the road.

let's keep our eyes on the future- there will be other claves.
