Depending on dates I would be interested if there was one on the Battenkill in Vt.

I’m about 2 hours from the Deerfield and would be interested. Farmington would be cool too.

I would aim to make it out.

Thanks to all who replied -- it's been a while since our last Northeast Fiberglass Flyrodders Clave. Never been to a glass clave? Wondering what it's all about... Well I'm glad you asked.

Up until a few years ago -- think pre-Covid -- we held annual Northeast claves for years. The claves are about getting together with like-minded glass fanatics of all stripes. Rod builders, fishers, collectors, etc. It's a chance to cast many many different glass rods from vintage factory rods to contemporary custom builds. And with all of the rods, reels and glass fanatics, and the knowledge and expertise in one place it can be a great learning experience. It is for me.

This would be an overnighter--- arrive on Friday, and stay one or two nights, as you like. We usually get cabins but you can tent it if you prefer.

There's always plenty of discussion of fiberglass fly rods -- vintage vs. contemporary, favorite rods, favorite builders, etc. plenty of time
to cast many new and old glass rods, and of course, time to fish too.

At the evening pow-wow around a campfire it can heat up... mixing libations and opinions about the merits and/or shortcomings of fiberglass... but in the end it's all good clean fun.






Casting sessions in the field

No worries Steve. No details will be shared here.

Well, we have about a half dozen interested parties. I'll PM folks who have expressed interested as details become available.

We did have a clave on the Willow in Living-ston Manor. It was I think in 2014 or 15. I'll be staying at my camp in the Roscoe area beginning mid April thru the end of October. If you are in the area let me know.

Hi, yes, agree the Battenkill was one of the better attended and livelier NE claves. I think it was 2015?

I remember our first (I think) Northeast Clave at the Deerfield River. Had a great time! Would be very interested in attending another clave up here in New England....the Deerfield would be my 1st choice. Lou
