President's Journal April 2008
Thursday, 03 April 2008, 3:16 p.m. CDT
April is here and several of our local reservoirs have been stocked with trout (cold water fish). The Bass, Bluegill, and Crappie are starting to become more active (warm water fish) as the water warms. Good fly-fishing starts now and gets better in the next few months. How fortunate we are to be Cornhusker fly fishers.
By now, most of you know about the accident that "Lefty" Kreh had while doing a casting demonstration in Tampa. Lefty fell from the platform that he was casting from smashing his kneecap and pulling the tendons from both sides of it. As of the first of April, he said that with therapy twice per week he should be semi mobile by June or July and mostly recovered by early next year, if all goes well.
Mark Sedotti will be our guest presenter at our "Spring Fling" on April 19th. Mark is a well-respected fly casting instructor and writer for several magazines as described in our flyer. He is excited about joining us and has a lot to offer. His extreme casting of 120' and more is something to behold and learn from. We look foreword to having Mark as our guest this month.
Much thanks goes to Larry Wallace for his excellent presentation on "The Art of Dubbing." Some of the secrets that he revealed could help those of us who tie flies tie better. Thanks Larry.
Our "Banner stand" is almost complete. This portable indoor display is representative of our organization and will enhance our image as we teach fly tying and fly-fishing throughout our communities. It will have our Club Logo, the Federation of Fly Fishers logo, and our Corn Fly patch on it.
Pat Connell has offered to establish and maintain a "list server/club directory" for those of us who want to know about fishing trips that are being organized and more. You voluntarily give Pat your e-mail address to get on this list.
On April 20th, the "Exhibitors for Earth Day 2008" will be having their event April 20th, from noon until 4 PM, at Antelope Park, which is just west of Capital Parkway at A Street.
Finally: Get your tickets for our "Spring Fling" and enjoy our year's biggest event. You can get them by calling me at (402) 292-6245 or purchasing them at this Wednesdays meeting.
