"Wow" is the impression left on most of us who attended the Spring Fling on April 19th and witnessed Mark Sedotti cast a 14 3/4 inch fly a distance of 153 1/2 feet, then later cast 133 feet to our target with the same fly. We measured the distances and were impressed. Mark is also a fine tier as he prepared several large flies that were balanced to go the distance. We expect to hear more about Mark in the future as other organizations hear about his capabilities and talent. Great job Mark.
We sold 68 tickets and had upwards from 60 people at our Spring Fling throughout the day. Raffles, auctions, fly tying and casting programs, good company, plus food made it a fun filled day. Many thanks go to the people who put this event together and worked to make it a delightful success. A special thanks goes to Doug King who spearheaded the Spring Fling committee this year. Well-orchestrated Doug.

Our banner stand is in. We had it at our April meeting and at the Spring Fling. It is beautiful.
Listed in the Tippet are the upcoming events, which include our one fly, scheduled for May.
The best time for catching warm water fish is now through mid July. Be sure to get out to our local water to take advantage of these fun times.
Bring a friend to our meeting. It is an opportunity to learn to cast, tie flies, meet new people, and participate in our fun filled activities.
