President's Journal November 2007
Friday, 16 November 2007, 12:39 p.m. CST
November is finally here and the holidays are coming. With that said, this year has been another fun filled time for our members. To keep things in perspective, our organization is an all volunteer, not for profit, group that comes together with a common interest in fly fishing. We have a talented membership with hundreds of years experience in our craft. Formal and informal leadership lead by our people helps to ensure that we have programs that you like.
I want to thank those club members who helped make October a memorable month.
First thanks is for Dr. Bill Schlichtemeier, for his wonderful presentation on "Fly Fishing Alaska." For the 50 of us who got to share his insight, there was something for everybody. The feedback, both verbal and in e-mail, ranged from "informative to Awesome." Thank you for putting together that delightful talk.
The next thanks are for those who came out to Mahoney State Park to teach fly casting during the "Boy Scout Jamboree" thank you to: Rich Kauchel, Baz Lazure, Ken Kratky, Frank Hoag and Bill Seibert. With the six of us, we were able to teach fly casting to many boys, girls, plus some moms and dads.
For our Conservation Event at Mahoney's Quest Lake we thank: Doug King (leading our conservation efforts), Agnes Adams, Donald Klostermeyer, Tip Spenser, Matt and Clayton Bremmer, Ron Hanson, Rich John, Bill McCoy, Neil Boston, and Don Humphery. The 12 of us, with chainsaws and other cutting devices, were able to clear away several flat bed trailers full of brush and generally provide a good cleanup to the shoreline around Quest Lake.
From now through January, when you pay your club dues, you can purchase one corn fly patch for $1.
We are starting to get the word out: Lefty Kreh will be our spring fling guest speaker. This legendary gentleman has been an active outdoor writer for more than 50 years, fished almost every state and many parts of the world. More details to come on this.
