A GREAT TIME WAS HAD BY ALL AT THE INTRO TO FLY FISHING EVENT

I think you would have to call our first Introduction to Fly Fishing event a success.  We had 10 eager students(CARTER DILLENBECK, EDGAR CUEVE, MARY JAKSIK, DAVID JAKSIK, VINCE CALLIER, MARK CRAWFORD, ROLANDO FERNANDEZ, JENNIFER LONG, AND JEREMY ROETTO) at the event and by the time they left, they were all drowning in too much information and we hope  at least 10% sticks with them.  Ha!!!  We divided the group into small numbers and had them rotate thru the 4 teaching stations(knots, fly tying, introduction to equipment and casting). Each rotation lasted 45 minutes and that was enough time to pass on the information we needed to get across.

Primary instructors were Carl Druebert(knots), Ed Sweet(introduction to equipment), Gary Nyland and Phil Lambrecht(fly tying) and Mike Wright(casting).

Of course we can’t forget the cooks Pat McQuinn and  Jerry Horton plus Brien John at the sign in table and Once again Pat McQuinn for Membership.

The lunch menu included Hotdogs , all the fixens, chips and all you could drink of soda etc.  Hats off the cooks.  they did a great job!!!
