Invitation from Walter McClendon of the Pinewoods Fly Fishers
Welcome again to the North Toledo Bend Rendezvous! T
he date is Friday afternoon, November 4th thru Sunday morning, November 6th, 2016. Rendezvous is the result of several fly fishermen gathering to fish and tie flies at the state park many years ago. After a couple of years of growing pains they found the park’s group facility. And what a facility indeed!
A capacity of 150 people in 5 heated log bunkhouses (30 beds each), a heated central shower and restroom building with nice night lighting on all the sidewalks and a large main log building with A/C, a commercial kitchen, dining hall, fireplace, a long front porch, picnic table and a large barbecue trailer out front.

Q and I attended a couple of years ago, and learned what a great event this is. I would highly recommend attending. If I were in town, I’d be there.
Many of the folks that tie at the Texas FlyFishers’ Dr. Ed Rizzolo Fly Tying Festival will be there.
What I seem to remember best is the organized chaos in the kitchen. So much food, and so much fun.
