Madison River Conclave - schedule? other questions..

says...
Just booked my flight to come in on the 8th. I had a frequent flyer
ticket to use and couldn't get it for Friday or Saturday, so I had to
go for the Thursday date (not that I'm disapointed, but still need to
break the news to the wife). Had to book the flight into Jackson
Hole, so it may take me two days to get past all of the other water,
and scenery, on the way up to the Clave.

Glad to hear it! Drop me an email so we can discuss your arrangements.
I also have some ideas I would like to discuss with you.

Have lots of other questions but I'll start with just one more. I
have an older T & T 6 wt that's a bit heavy and probably don't want to
cast that rod all day so I'm thinking about either buying a basic 6
weight rod, or just sticking to my favorite Sage 590 SP and/or RPL.
They tend to get me by on streams that a 6 wt is recommended, but
should I think about cutting into the Madison River budget for a new 6
weight, or just saving the cash for a bit pocket cash on the trip?

A 5wt will be fine. If you need a 6, I have plenty to offer.

O.K. maybe one more question..I also have a 3 and 4 weight I could
bring along if the need is there. Will we be fishin any smaller
streams where a shorter, lighter, rod would be required?

Bring the 4wt. Our "smaller streams" are NC rivers and not nearly as
overgrown. A 8' 4wt is about perfect for the "side trips" IMO. Maybe
Jeff or Charlie will have some insights though. I hear Jeff fishes the
feeder creeks of the feeder creeks (RC Clave) when he comes out to
visit.... ;-)

Will do..

Sounds like I'll be fine don't bring a spare 6 just for me but if you
have one around I'm always game for test driving a different rod...
