Sexyloops will be 25 gathering. Sept 22, 2023
I think this will be a good date to keep free. It will be a big week long event. Involving fishing, casting and the usual madness.
I think it should be here in Malaysia. Some of you might want to stay a month!
I know you’re probably thinking “WTF? 2023? Is Paul crazy?” But before you know it I’ll be welcoming you to the greatest fly fishing gatherings in the history of gatherings!
So block out September 2023!
2048. Keep that one free too.
Cheers, Paul

The 20th anniversary gathering was a cracker - I was so pissed I don't remember anything about it! Tracy and I will be there Paul (global pandemics and other unknowns depending).

We will make this a large event. We will a competition, we’ll have numerous presentations, I’ll invite all the Malaysians over (we may get 50 or more of them!), we will have Sexyloopers from Europe, Australia and from all over SE Asia. I’ll invite the Japanese fly casting team. I’ll really make this one worth remembering! I’ve got some pretty good contacts now who are definitely going to want to film this. I’ll also get someone to organise it
You’re only 25 once!
Fishing options are plentiful. The Belum Temenggor lake is vast. There are numerous boatmen and about 20 houseboats. There are two resorts here. We also have Sungai Tiang to visit. September can be a bit dodgy with the rain but it should be fishable.
The casting comp will have to be over water. There is just nowhere here where there is enough flat grass.
But I would definitely recommend coming for an extended stay. Short term we can hold the main event at Belum Rainforest Resort. And then for longer term options we can utilise Belum Eco Resort.
September is a bloody good month to fish here!
Cheers, Paul

And to keep things fair, all participants use the same kit, a Sexyloops rod provided by the host...

Ashly and I are working on this. You are only 25 once. And the next big one is 50ffs. Ashly is starting work in the resort I want to book next week.

Hey, this still happening? If so, we should publish an recap of the festivities in a magazine somewhere - if only I could think of one, hmmm.....
But seriously, do you want to promote this in the magazine or just keep it here on the board?
