First Annual Beaverkill & Willowemoc
Weekend Trip
Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, October 3-5, 2003
Riverside Lodge, on the Beaverkill River, Horton, NY
All-inclusive Price to LIFRs in Good Standing is $150.00/each

SUMMARY:
These famed rivers, steeped in fly-fishing lore, are prime brown and rainbow fisheries. We should have mostly dry weather, with daytime temperatures in the 60s and evenings in the 50s. Last fishing light is at 7.30-8.00 PM. 
We invite you to relax by the fire, after your fishing day ends, with good friends in a convivial setting.
This trip is a no-hassle event for LIFRs, with super fishing prospects, world-class food, and cozy-warm beds for all.

TIME OF ESSENCE:
Time is of essence to reserve your space. Only 11, two-person, rooms remain. 

PAYMENT POLICY:
YOU MUST PAY TRIP CO-CAPTAIN PETE YUSKEVICH (718-962-1722) $150.00 in cash, for your slot. 
Tell him your roommate preference. As soon as we fill, Pete will put all others on a priority stand-by list.

CANCELLATION POLICY:
If you pay and must cancel, we can accept cancellations with a refund only until July 31. 
After July 31, it's up to you to find a replacement fly-fisher and to have that person pay you $150 - if you desire.
Remember, October 3-5 is fall foliage time in the Catskills. Rooms are scarce in October, and they're in high demand.
