When I was on the BOD of the New England Saltwater Fly Rodders we arranged for different speakers for each of the monthly meetings. Some were guides of note, some were authors of 'in demand' books of various aspects and destinations of fly fishing and probably the speakers who received the most interest were the fly tiers of national and local fame - each of whom had "invented" and developed their own very effective fly patterns. It was always a mob scene around the fly tying table with a good number of members never being able to see of hear what was going on at the table. Then we got a camera and a really BIG TV to show the whole process on along with a clip-on mike for the speaker. What a huge improvement that made.
Great suggestion Robin to augment a great idea from Greg. |

"Tools required" may be the most important thing to learn from such a presentation. Anyone who attacks a Parker, be it a Trojan or an A1S, with the wrong 'screwdrivers' deserves the buggered screws and marred surfaces he will undoubtedly get . . . but sorrowfully, the Parker he abuses will not have "deserved" such disrespect and damage.

I wuld be glad to bring along a lifter and show how to break it down, and show how to repair a lock as well. But I would not attempt to go beyond stock removal on a hammerless.
Best, Austin |

I would love to see a lifter taken down as I will need to take my D-2 down after spending Sat. shooting black powder. I know the locks will need to be removed and cleaned. The firing pins have been cleaned and replaced but I've not had the guts the take on locks. Thanks, Dave |

Too bad I can't be there! I'd be happy to reduce a Parker to a pile of parts for folks. With the correct tools, it's not difficult.... I have not yet attacked an ejector forend however...

Rich,
Great to see you are in contact. Season is open fresh grouse for dinner tonight. Delicious wish you could be here. Looking forward to our tri. Tried a PM that got lost in cyberspace so I am posting here even if off topic. As a matter of general interst for those South of Alaska it has been warm here; I water skiied yestrday, but the Common Loons seem to be flying more as they always do as fall approaches, a few Canadian Geese seemed to have moved down to Anchorage, saw some sand hill cranes moving about. Young waterfall on the ski lake have grown a great deal; all signs of things to come. I hope that help wet some appetites. Trigg |
