Tenn'Clave 2008 Reunion, a fly fishing weekend for all is rapidly approaching and will be held again this year on October 10-13, 2008 in Bristol, TN. This being our first reunion, Tenn'Clave promises to be a fun-filled weekend for all!

Many of our FF@ Listserve members and friends will be joined with fly fishing enthusiasts and their family from across the  country who travel into the Great State of Tennessee to experience some of the finest fly fishing in the  country.

 Uniquely situated, the pristine  South Holston Valley of East Tennessee is home to the South Holston and  Watauga tailwaters as well as other local superb mountain streams and lake waters.

 Come join with us this Columbus Day Weekend at Observation Knob at the Sullivan County Campgrounds,  Bristol, TN to rekindle old friendships, meet new folks, and sit around the campfires exchanging fish lies and lore. This is a weekend for all to enjoy the camaraderie brought about through fly fishing (or spin fishing for some!)

 Tenn'Clave, provides an abundance of superb local fisheries for all skill levels, and ages. The Clave also  offers an opportunity for the non-fishing spouses, friends, and family members to meet new faces around  the campsite, enjoy local and regional attractions, shop, or participate in other activities of interest.

 Bring your family and friends, kick back and relax, and experience Fall fly fishing in East Tennessee, our  favorite time of the year. Have have a safe trip into the Volunteer State while enjoying the Fall foliage which should be at its peak at this time.

  We are particulary pleased and proud to annouce this year we will dedicate Saturday to our Warrior Heroes of the Healing Waters Project.

These physically challenged, brave men and women who have served our country unselfishly will join our Clave assisted by Clave participants, many of whom have already expressed a sincere desire to assist in any way possible. You will learn more of this outreach to our Veterans at this site's Healing Waters Project page.

A list of favorite flies used at the Clave for the South Holston Valley is provided here should you need to replenish your fly boxes.

Please watch your speeding while travelling the area known for both VA and TN Speedtraps. They are well enforced!

...and as a reminder you may want to check on the forecasted weather for the weekend as we have had beautiful days of sunshine as well as early morning awakenings to snow and rain in years past.

The site's pages should answer most of your questions for the weekend. If you have further questions, call (615) 347-9494 or  e-mail to us.

We look forward to seeing ya'll in Bristol!
