Cane in the Catskills, April 4th |
Lead | ||
|
Mike Canazon is having his casting get-together on opening day, Saturday April 4th, 10:00-12:00 at the Livingston Manor School right in the middle of town.
This is a great little event, and since many guys are going to first cast at Junction Pool anyway, this is the icing on the cake.

There's three things I always look foreward to on opening day.
Seeing all my buddies. The Juntion Pool toast and Mikes Cane casting extravaganza.
Glad he's got it going again this year

catskill cane is growing! we'll be at the livingston manor gym from 9- 12. besides a great assortment of classic rods, we will have quite a few rods by
contemporary makers. catskill john will be bringing the dream model 50 we were casting at the flyfest. we'll get to try it out without the white stuff all
around us.
last year we jack brought harry's dickerson that he chopped up and made a three piece out of. that takes a lot of nerve! but it was a casting machine. who says an old dog can't teach you new tricks. talking about old dogs, bob taylor will be bringing a new rod based on the payne parabolic. with a staggered ferrule. talk about sweet. hopefully it won't be gone before the show. and i'll have a bunch of old clunkers for kids to cast. and one or two decent rods. so if you got one (a kid) bring him or her along. see you there mike |

Had a great time Saturday with my Boo-Boys. The old cane was plentiful, and some really nice new ones also.
Taylor had his Payne parabolic that Tom mentioned, still with the handle protector on, and we were the first ones to cast it. What a fine piece that is, everyone who touched it fell in love. Its for sale, by the way. Here are a few rods in the rack just to give you an idea of whats going on...
Here is Bob Taylors rod...
And the man himself...
Here is a shot of the first lady and the prez...Martha and Tom Mason. Great cast Martha!
Luzerne had a few of his gorgeous rods there also, he has great taste in cane. Tom brought out his old model 50, the one in mint condition, and man that thing is nice. What is it about old Leonards? Thanks for another great time, and thanks Mike for letting me crash at the Catskill White House...a few more weeks and I will have our place opened up and eveybody over for dinner! CJ

I thought Martha was President and Tom was the first lady.

There was a Bob Taylor 6' 9" for 3wt on the rack that was, for me, the star of the show. About as sweet as it gets with 15 - 20 ft of line off the
tip. Some day....

Tom, I know, I know, my sentiments exactly. My better half disagrees, she's nervous about all that's going on now. I've decided to give her a break
and lay low for a while.

It was a great day of casting and seeing friends again. There was probably one of the best selections of Rods we've had there yet.
My only disapointment was I didn't have time to get in line for bob's new rod but my son was just jonesing for some fishing.
