Stacy Lynn gave a great presentation on casting at our meeting held on the Guadalupe River at Cypress Bend Park.  The theme of her presentation was accuracy and how it affected your ability to catch fish.  She covered accuracy from how and where the fly should land to how the leader and fly line work together to make the cast.  She demonstrated on the water the phases of the cast and how trajectory, speed and aim point  made a difference in accuracy of the cast.  As alway, she was confident, assured and at times funny in her presentation.  She also demonstrated some casting accuracy practices that we could do at home.

By the time the meeting was over, it was DARK OUTSIDE and all the river noises were heard(frogs etc).  Thanks Stacy, you did a great job.

See some pictures of the event below!!

The Intro to Fly Fishing class started off fine with a total of 16 attendees(some missing from the picture). Two new members took us up on the offer for free class attendance if they joined the FFI and our charter club.  We welcome new members Keith Smith and Ron Butts.

We began on time at 9am and got to get in 3 rounds of the round robin classes when, THE STORM HIT!!!!

We spent over an hour witnessing wind, hail, rain, thunder and lightning!!!  We all looked for refuge and found it in cars and under the roof of the Red Caboose at the Rio Camp Ground!!!

After an hour and a half, we decided the worst had passed and continued the round robin.

Break for lunch!!!!!!!
