The members of the provisional committee paid a visit to the American Fly Fishing Museum in Manchester, Vermont.

Friday, December 15 2006, the group sets off in a minivan driven by Pascal Russell, at 6:30AM, it is still dark.  But as soon as the sun dissipated the clouds, it was a warm Indian Summer day.

The American Museum of Fly Fishing is located in Manchester Vermont. After 4 hours of driving, we were welcomed by Bill Bullock, president/director and Yoshi Akiyama, collections director.
