The Smokies Cold Water Clave

Thu, 04/02/2009 - 11:52 -- jmaslar

I recently joined the Flyfish web site that combines fly fishing fans into a community by means of a giant email list of members.  As you write an email to Flyfish, it goes to every person on the email list, sort of a forerunner to Twitter.  An interesting reply to my initial email was to welcome me and invite me to the The Smokies Cold Water Clave.  I have never seen the term clave before so I investigated and here is what it is!
