Think 2008
Monday, 14 January 2008, noon CST
Once again, I am honored to serve as president for our organization. Much thanks goes to the board members, the core volunteers and team members who have worked smartly to provide exciting programs for us to enjoy. A lot of preparation and thought has gone into making each monthly meeting an event to look forward to. Thank you.
Think 2008. Think fly tying. Think "Spring Fling". Think of what a great time it is to be a Cornhusker Fly Fisher. We have a fresh new year to be with old friends, meet new friends and share our fly tying/fly fishing experiences.
Although the weather is cold and the ponds are iced over, we have the opportunity to prepare our favorite flies and experiment with new ones as we anticipate the spring thaw. Some members have taken to ice fishing, a great way to try out new ultra light jig patterns that should work well on the end of a fly line tippet.
I am delighted to inform you that Colleen Whitney is chairing our Program committee for 2008. For years, she has been a contributing member providing new ideas and actions that we benefit from.
Doug King, twice past president, will spearhead our "Spring Fling" committee as we prepare for Lefty Kreh's visit in April. Doug also chairs our environmental committee.
Tying a Corn Fly on a hook. Pat Henry tied some at the State Fair in late August of 2007. It was popular with many of the young visitors. I have tied some and seen some fine examples that some of our members have tied. Our next goal is to catch a fish with a Corn Fly.
Finally, we welcome our new members who have joined recently. There are many monthly events for you to look forward to. Our "Spring Fling" is the biggest event of the year. We are privileged to have Lefty Kreh as our keynote presenter. Get your tickets now.
Dues are due. Get a "Corn Fly" patch along with your 2008 dues for $25.
