President's Journal July 2007

June has been another delightful month full of outdoor activities. Neil Boston displayed the flies that we received from our peers in South Africa. One box was put in our display case at Schramm. Don Klostemeyer tied his micro jig that won the one fly contest in May. Lee Koch set up the Annual Target Competition outside of the Aquarium and rated 10 fine casters as we competed for the privilege of taking the trophy home for a year. After all was done, Jeff Flom won with the highest score. Congratulations Jeff.
More than 16 of our people showed up at Grove Lake/Verdegree. 9 of us camped out and had a great time. Neil and Lee provided guide service, Colleen and Wayne Whitney brought Saturday’s lunch, and Jeff Flom and Ken Weisenhunt took pictures. Rich Keuchel, Sandy Lyons and more joined us for lunch. Several of us fished the lake on Saturday. Frank Reid used his kick boat and took a 3 pound bass amongst the other fish caught. John Hoke caught fish from his canoe, Cathy Seybold and Deb Harms fished from Cathy’s boat while my son John and I used our Kayaks. Bryon Melvin, Vern Hansen, and several of us fished the trout streams at different times. For a fun time, mark this on your calendar for next year.
Our July meeting is planed for Walnut Creek in Papillion. Bring your fly rods and floating devices. I intend to bring a couple of extra kayaks for those who would like to try kayaking. We have 112 members in our fine organization; hope to see most of you there.
Our Carp feast will be on Saturday, July 21, at Two Rivers. We plan to meet at the area behind the concession which is just south of the Park entrance. Ken Weisenhunt, Neil Boston, and Johnny Hoke have volunteered to cook our lunch. Bring your fly fishing equipment; we might have a good chance of breaking the old records catching carp on a fly. Bring a friend.
