Teachers, if you can print this out and stick it to your school's bulletin boards, that would be awesome!

If you are in Richmond and can help me distributing flyers next week, please email me at info@fishingwithrod.com

I also need a sandwich maker for the volunteers.

Many thanks to Berry's Bait and Tackle, Nikka Industries, Delta Tackle, Redl Sport, Office Depot, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, and Family Fishing Weekend Society for providing me lots of goodies.

Printed some posters & will put them up around the family resident hall here on UBC.  I'll probably bring some kids in the neighborhood so won't be available to volunteer, Rod.  But I can bring a digital camera and take pictures of the activities if you like.  Let me know.

My son is looking forward to tie some fly.  Remember to bring your spoons, Rod!

Ill put some up on the mean streets of PoCo, hey you never know, may have some visitors come out from here.

Thanks guys.

Hung, yes bring as many kids down as possible. We like to let everyone know that fishing is not the only thing to do there on Saturday, I've been trying to shift more towards the educational yet entertaining component for this event, and I try to find something that accomodates every age group.
