What is Clave?

I looked up the definition in the dictionary, but the entries I've found
we
1. past tense of cleaver
2. A cylindrical hardwood stick used in a pair as a percussion instrument.
3. A syncopated two-bar musical pattern.

I'm assuming it means gathering?

That's right, 'Clave is an abbreviated form of Conclave.

Stems from the Nahuatl "conclavatl" meaning camaraderie, drinking, dunking
and occasional fishing.

Mostly open invitation fishing gatherings of Roffians. Ie all invited
within a few shifting and general guidelines typically established by a
volunteer clave master. (Things like don't beat your dog, limits on
firearms, ****ing matches but not much more. Degree of formal arrangements
vary. You should come to one. The few Ive been to have been a kick.

Yes, I'm planning on attending the Sandy River Spey Clave on May 14-15,
along the Washington/Oregon border. I believe there will be a few Roffians
there, sounds like a lot of fun.

I just looked at that list for the first time. Nice job. Tim!

However.........you knew it was coming.......right?.....

IIRC, HWMNBN has only ever been applied to a single specific individual
within this group.......thus far, anyway. A brief explanation of the
circumstances might not be entirely out of order......one need not
necessarily even name HWMNBN.

I don't recall whether the acronym "POTY" has ever been used here, but I'm
fairly certain that the expression it abbreviates has. A possible candidate
for inclusion?

I understand the limitations of space, and the definition of "SPLORK VANG
MU" is accurate and witty enough, but it seems to me that a fuller
exposition of the peculiar relevance to ROFF (as well as due recognition of
the roles of the principals) might make it even better........um........OMN.

In the context of ROFF maybe, but claves amongst the various electronic
fly fishing groups were going on long before ROFF had it's first
*official* clave.
