The new owners of Rendezvous RV have been renovating the facilities and cabins. We will plan to get together both Friday (9/16) and Saturday (9/17) evening after fishing (light hors d'oeuvres and drink) to tell and share fish stories.
As a newcomer, but having been there the last 2 years, we have found it a wonderful time. Meet new and old members. It is a wonderful get-together and I have learned much from other members.
When you call for reservations, mention that you are with the BVFF. They have offered a 10% discount at the fly shop also.
