A reminder that our 3rd annual Gulf Coast Classic fly fishing festival is next weekend, May 2nd and 3rd, at Gulf State Park in Gulf Shores. If you’ve procrastinated about going, or your weekend (or Saturday) is suddenly free, it’s not too late to register. Or sign up for workshops, the Fly Fishing Film Tour on Saturday evening, or register for the Mixed Bag Contest.
About the only thing unavailable at this point is on-campus lodging. However, there are some decent hotel rates in the Foley area, just 15 minutes from the Learning Campus.
The Classic website has a complete list of activities, schedules for Friday and Saturday, fly tier and presenter/instructor bios, Mixed Bag Contest rules, and much more. Seminar topics cover a wide range of fishing opportunities, from bluegill and bass to tarpon and speckled trout to Louisiana redfish and more. In addition, there are speakers on conservation topics, including our Friday Keynote Speaker, William Strickland of Mobile Baykeeper. There’s also an incredible array of raffle and silent auction items courtesy of our amazing sponsors.
Again, to learn more about the Classic, and links to registration and workshops, go to: www.ffigulfcoastclassic.com. Or click on the Classic logo in the right sidebar.
