I’m so excited I might lose my line – this coming Sunday, April 6th, 2008, is the official launch party for Rick’s book, the Freshman FlyFisher, ISBN 978-0-9783292-1-1. The response to this book has been incredible. Rick is getting so much press coverage it’s crazy – Urban Rush, Weather Network, BC Outdoors Magazine, and many other magazines and media outlets. Everybody loves Rick!

The launch is a flyfisher’s dream: an all-day party at the Semiahmoo Fish and Game Club in south Surrey, on 184th, just north of 8th avenue. (Near the Hazelmere Golf Course.) Join us anytime between 10 and 4 that day for casting lessons, fly tying, knot tying, various roaming entertainment, and let’s not forget a kid-friendly bbq manned by the Cloverdale Rotary Club! Hand me a hot dog!

This launch party will be a bit different from others in the book world. I doubt you’ll see much that looks like this:

But there will probably be plenty of stuff that looks like this:

Which is not nearly as pretty, but just as fun! SEE YOU THERE!
