Royal Treatment's 15 Year Birthday Bash
2025-10-18 10:00 - 16:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Royal Treatment Fly Fishing, 21570 Willamette Dr,, West Linn, OR
This Saturday, October 18th, you are invited to join us for our 15th Anniversary Celebration. This is our day to thank you, our Royal Treatment Family, for the unwavering support over the last 15 years, and a great excuse to order up a giant cake. Join us for a day of fly tying, casting contests, door prizes, and good friends. The fun starts when the doors open at 10:00.

Blind Casting Contest
Starting at 11:00
While everyone loves casting dry flies to rising trout, most of the time we find ourselves blind casting and hoping for the best. Now, those skills can win you some awesome prizes! We’ll kick off our infamous “Blind Casting Contest,” where participants are guided by the crowd in hopes of hitting the targets and scoring the most points. We have Royal Treatment Gift Cards for the top three scores. You don’t have to be good to win, you just have to try. First place takes home $125!

It’s all about the Cake!
Cake cutting at 11:30
Traditions, especially when it comes to celebrations, normally center around some sort of food, and here at RoyalTreatment, we are no different. At our grand opening celebration 15 years ago, we served up an incredible cake from our neighbors at Market of Choice here in West Linn, and that tradition continues.
Additionally, our business is built on relationships with our customers and suppliers. One relationship that started years before RoyalTreatment was even a thought was with our favorite Simms Fishing Product retailer liaison, Pandy Scoggins. Pandy is based in Bozeman and has been my friendly voice on the phone for over 25 years. So, when it came time to celebrate the opening of my own shop, the first thing I did was slice off a big piece of cake and overnight it to Pandy, along with forks and napkins, of course. That tradition continued for each of the next 14 years. This year, we won’t be shipping cake to Bozeman, because Pandy will be here to cut it! She has been scaling back her working hours, and as part of her “Farewell Tour,” we’ve convinced management to let her join the celebration in person. Come give Pandy a big Royal Treatment Welcome!

Club Dinner Meeting and Holiday Celebration
featuring Tom Bie, founder and editor of The Drake Magazine
Tom Bie, the featured speaker for the December dinner meeting and Holiday Celebration, was born and raised in Oregon. A journalism graduate from Oregon State University, Bie founded The Drake Magazine nearly 20 years ago and has grown it into North America’s leading print magazine “for those who fish”.
A passionate angler and conservationist, Bie lives and works in Denver for about half the year and spends most of the balance of the year living on the Oregon Coast, where he chases steelhead as much as time allows. Despite publishing schedules, he somehow manages to mix in a trip or two annually to fish somewhere else in the world.
His presentation at the December 9 dinner meeting will offer his insights into the world of fly fishing from the perspective of an editor and publisher of the country’s best and largest flyfishing magazine. He will also take us on a virtual tour of the saltwater flats he has fished, spanning from Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula to the main flats of Belize. Additionally, he will share highlights from a recent trip he made to Christmas Island and Fanning Atoll.
Celebrate the holidays with friends and hear from Oregon’s own Tom Bie.
When: December 9th, extended wet fly hour with raffle starting at 5:30 pm.
Where: The University Club, 1225 SW 6th Ave, Portland
Attire: Jackets are recommended for the gentlemen
