After more than a year we are going to have our South Carolina Convention NANFACon2021 October 8-9.

 

More details to come, but feel free to ask questions or talk about your plans here.

[El Todd]

Is it in Columbia?

[Michael Wolfe]

Yes, Dustin is going to still host as a "do over" of the 2020 that we had to cancel.  As I understand it he is going to try to obtain a lot of the same arrangements as before.  There are a few things that he will have to do differently of course but we wanted to try to give everyone a chance to get together.

Excellent News.

Hats off to Dustin.

Thanks to Dustin and the Board for getting the Convention rescheduled. I am planning to attend.

 

I have always been in favor of fall conventions with the higher numbers of "fish of the year" to be collected over spring conventions with swollen streams and muddy roads from spring rains even though the darters and minnows are in breeding colors.

Are blackbandeds on anyone else's list?

[Chasmodes]

It looks like I can't make it this time.  I'm so bummed.  I was looking forward to the one that got cancelled.  This time, unfortunately for me, I have too much going on with work, etc. and can 't take the time off.  I will try and make one of these events.  I want to meet everyone in person, so I will attend at least one.

after many years hiatus, I am planning to attend.  Fingers are crossed for good weather.

Thank you so much for re-organizing! I certainly will attend and look forward to seining with friends! LAWRENCE

[Mike]

I'm looking forward to it.

Looking forward to this convention, but I noticed there are only two dates listed. I believe in Mississippi we had a day of lectures and two days to collect. Will the program in South Caroline involve only one day of collecting?

I am Lawrence Kent in Seattle

Been waiting for our leadership to make a posting here but the SC rescheduled NANFA 2021 convention is no more due to the ongoing Covid concerns.

Looking ahead to our 50th anniversary in our founder's home state in 2022.  John Bondhus.  We have a great team of hosts.

Winona, MN.   Right on the Mississippi River.  Rough Fish Round Up Friday night.

Thank you for the notification Casper.  Not what I wanted to hear, but glad to know.

LOVE the idea (plan!) for a MN convention!  I've never fished there!  I don't know why!

I already carved time out of my schedule and planned the trip with friends and family.  Iowa Scott is driving to South Carolina as if there were still a convention.  Anyone want to join me? 

 

Casper and Mark, a trip to Minnesota routes you directly through Iowa Scott's neck of the woods.  Just sayin'.

Thinking of doing ALA in October, so probably won't be there when you're there.  But I'm sure you'll figure out how to have a good time!

Iowa Scott (me) is planning to fish in Northern South Carolina and/or Southern North Carolina on 10/8 and 10/9 for fieryblack and greenhead shiners.  Care to join us? 

[Casper]

Be sure and write a trip report with photos.  I will be in the Conasauga and then back down to Summerville.

I'm tied up this weekend.  Bring your bolt cutters!
