I have been fishing the basin for the last few years and would love to learn more about it. Depending on my work schedule I would love to make it to your seminar. Even If I am not able to be there I would like to thank you for your offer.
I am not to sure what the State Parks in that area have to offer. The one at D'Arbonne has good meeting areas. The Parks down there may have the perfect Spot for up to 50 people . Some Churches have " Family Life Centers" they rent for Family Reunions and public Meetings, for almost nothing.
Your post is self explanatory . I have been fishing there so long I pretty much know where to go at a particular stage. Even at that conditions change year to year in some places. If you keep a log, then it would generally give you an idea of what's accessible. Benoit is difficult sometimes to figure out. Go one day and catch, go to the same spot the next and skunk.
No vet, from my experience it's every fish and every where. Salt water, fresh water, lakes, ponds, rivers don't matter. Here today, gone tomorrow. I'm there more often on the tomorrow!
