Meeting and speaker for 28 August

We will have our meeting at the library on the 28th and the speaker is Bob Pool. A short BIO follows. See you there.

I’ve been fly fishing for 55 years and have targeted big bass for the last 40. I was originally talked into doing a presentation for my own club, the San Gabriel Fly Fishers because it seemed I caught more big bass than the whole rest of the club put together. A few have changed to targeting bigger fish now and have been very successful at it so I think my techniques work. A couple of local guides have let me know they use them as well with success. It makes me feel good to know I get to help people catch these big bass more often.

The big bass are still able to be caught even in this heat. They are moving early mornings and late evenings. I caught a 5 lb 4 oz and a 7 lb 11 oz yesterday evening late on Lake Marble Falls.

See you guys soon, Bob Pool

SOME FLY FISHING CHUCKLES!!!!!!

CHUCKLE, CHUCKLE!!!

Phil had a great day at the Salt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Last Thursday fishing outside of Port Aransas Phil Lambrecht had an awesome day catching 15 Speckled Trout and 5 Red Fish! Pictured is one that was 27 inches!

This day makes up for the other days that the wind and conditions were just not right and You couldn’t even find any fish!!! GREAT DAY PHIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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!!!

THE TEAM!!
