The fledgling Bend Casting Club, which is seeking to take advantage of the underutilitzed Orvis casting course, has upped the novelty factor for this evening’s monthly meeting/competition. In honor of this weekend’s Halloween festivities, the club is encouraging fly anglers to come out to this evenings’ gathering in Halloween costumes. The club will adding glow in the dark liquid to the end of competitors’ fly lines (including yarn and some donated flies), allowing them to shoot holes in the dark. It may not be Burning Man, but it should be a good show.ย The festivities get started at 6p.m. with prizes for winners. There is also games and treats for kids and the casting club encourages competitors to bring along the family tonight. Hey, it’s the next best thing to actually fishing.

I’ve been a fly fisherman for about 40 years and this has to be about the silliest event I’ve ever heard of…and will NOT participate in. Obviously this “club” isn’t for serious fly flippers.
