Looking forward to this. Thanks for putting on a presentation!

You are assuming everyone uses this Facebook thingy. 

Mind posting a date and time on this forum specifically?

I like Hopworks!

Sweet, looking forward to it!

Is this seminar still a go for tonight?

Is this seminar still a go for tonight?

I believe it still is.  I have not heard anything from Hugh to say otherwise and it is still being advertised on FB. 

I will be ther hope to see you there

I wanted to thank everyone who showed up for the seminar and Next Adventure for hosting this fun evening with libations. We covered a lot of information in a small amount of time & there were a lot of really great questions coming from the audience. It was nice meeting new faces and reconnecting with friends. 

Thank you very much for the seminar! I really enjoyed it and learned quite few interesting new things about steelhead fishing. Hopefully i can get some metal in the freezer in the coming months (although probably from the bank....I am still a little reluctant to throw my outback in a fast flowing winter river )

Yes, I really enjoyed it.  Lots of really relevant information.  I particularly enjoyed the "How would you fish this" examples.  The short videos really supported the presentation as well.  Nice job!

What was the knot that you mentioned for tying a trailing leader to the hook bend?  I meant to write it down so I could Google it.

Thank you for the seminar.  I like fishing talk and free beer!

Does anyone else who attended remember the knot?

Duncan knot?

Yup

I was thinking about this a few days ago.  Are a Duncan and a Uni loop the same knot?

According to Wiki, this knot was originally named the Duncan loop, after Norman Duncan who developed it in the early 1960s. The knot was later popularized in a 1970 fishing book as the uni knot by Vic Dunaway, editor at the Miami Herald. It's breaking strength is less than 100% but greater than 90%. It's an easy knot to tie even with frozen fingers! Thanks Norman!
