President's Journal September 2007

We had another delightful month for fun activities with our organization. For our August 15th meeting, Neil Boston created a well thought out survival fly tying scenario and Lee Koch brought his old Honda for its final fling. After scavenging material from the car, the tiers created unique flies that have fine possibilities for catching fish. Jeff Kurrus took pictures of the unique creations. Thanks to all, we had fun.

At the Nebraska State fair, Frank Reid, Pat Henry, Ken Wheisenhunt, Sandy Cox, Marilyn Bombac and I had an opportunity to meet hundreds of people who were interested in tying flies and casting a fly rod. We have invited several of them to visit us this fall at one of our meetings and to check out our web site.

Thanks to Brad Siegfreid for his constant upgrades to make it user friendly and Jeff Flom for posting current pictures, we are getting compliments from site visitors who call it "cool", "neat", "nice", and "wow". These men do good work.

Our annual family "pot luck" will be held at Mahoney State Park at the pavilion across the street from Quest Lake. The date is September 19th around 7:00pm. Bring something good to share.

Some of us plan to go to the Ponca Expo September 21st and 22nd. For those who are not going, the Aquarium will be available to tie flies. For more information on the Ponca event, call me or contact Ken Whisenhunt.

Mark your calendar for October 17. We have another treat. Our Doctor Bill Schlichtemeier is going to do a presentation on "Fly Fishing Alaska". He and his wife have made several fly fishing trips there and he is willing to share some of his insight and experiences with us. Yes, you may bring a guest.

Finally, Brad Siegfreid has again demonstrated his talent with a unique design of a 3 inch "corn fly" for our club patch. We hope to have them available for sale in 4-6 weeks.

Can any of our fly-tiers come up with a pattern based on the CornFly? Maybe we can make it a competition.
