Minutes of NBFF Membership Meeting

Minutes of NBFF Membership Meeting

09/22/2021 – Summit Pavilion

Ron DeMeyer called the meeting to order at 7:00 pm.  There were 12 members present.  The fly raffle netted $31.00

Brien will check with the library to see if it is possible to reserve the meeting room.  Ron will attempt to find a speaker for October if we can meet at the library where there are audio/visual capabilities.

Gary Nyland informed the group that he would like to start “fly tying night” in the fall if we could find a place to have it.  Pat McQuinn thought that Darryl Yarbrough had said that the club house at the Summit was available.  Ron will double check with Darryl.

Pat McQuinn said we have 30 current members.  He will be sending out notices soon to those members who haven’t provided their FFI membership renewal info to him.

There are no outings scheduled.  Pat McQuinn said we should plan a trip to Guadalupe State Park.  Phil Lambrecht thought another place would be the Blanco River near the Blanco State Park for more and bigger fish.  Ron will check it out and schedule a trip in the near future.

Ron said we will have officer elections at the October meeting.  Any who may want to throw their hat in the ring can contact Ron or wait until the October meeting to volunteer.

Ron had contacted Dan Cone who said he has tentatively designated November 6th for this year’s Holdover Tournament.  The date will be confirmed in the near future.

There was a general discussion about GRTU’s LAP program and that the only change we were aware of was the increase to 1000 members.

The meeting was adjourned at 8:30 pm.

** AUGUST FLY FISHING REPORT
————————————————————
To all who’ve recently subscribed to our newsletter: Thank you for joining!
The summer fly fishing in Colorado has been amazing. Some rivers in Colorado have been experiencing extreme heat and mudslides. The fishing on the Gunnison river has been fairly consistent. Lots of fish being caught with dries, streamers, and nymphs. Anglers of all skill levels are having success. There’s only a few dates remaining for September and October in Colorado. The warm water species on the various Hill Country rivers are improving. There’s a lot less people on the rivers with school starting and the rains are providing good flow.

We’ve added a new boat to the fleet that provides more room and comfort for our bass and trout trips. Check out the photos on Facebook or Instagram of our new Boulder Boatworks drift boat. April is a great time to book a trip to experience some epic fly fishing.

It is that time of year that hopper droppers are doing well, and I have been doing well with just about any kind of hopper by itself.

FFI Virtural Expo

Don’t Miss The FFI Virtual Expo!

Our first-ever Virtual Expo is coming up November 5-7. The FFI Virtual Expo brings all the workshops, experiences, knowledge, and community of our annual Expo to a digital platform.

Over the course of the three-day event you’ll find casting and fly tying demonstrations, conservation presentations, fly fishing skills workshops, discussions on travel and destinations, and so much more. A $25 registration fee grants you access to the Expo, with some workshops requiring an additional fee.

Virtual Expo attendance will be capped at 1,500, so don’t delay in getting your spot reserved. There are also some workshops that start as early as September 6.

Mark your calendars, registration opens Monday, August 16th.

FFI VIRTUAL EXPO

New and exciting features are coming to the popular Fly Casting Skills Challenge, including a new name that more accurately reflects the intention of the program: Fly Casting Skills Development (FCSD).

FCSD will include a new Foundation level for beginners that will prepare them for approaching the Bronze level and beyond. Although the Gold level must still be completed in a single session, the Bronze and Silver levels can be completed in multiple sessions over time. The program will be launched in October. For now, please continue to use the current program that is on our website.

FLY CASTING SKILLS CHALLENGE

As part of the Fly Fishers International upcoming FFI Virtual Expo this fall, we are proud to announce the first annual FFI Film Competition. We are asking for your creativity, your passion, and your stories. Filmmakers can win great prizes and share their creative vision with a passionate and engaged fly fishing audience.

In keeping with the mission of the FFI to preserve the legacy of fly fishing for all fish in all waters, the objectives of the First Annual FFI Film Competition are to invite and encourage filmmakers of all ages, abilities, and experiences to tell their fly-fishing-related stories through original films. Experienced or novice, young or old, close to home or in exotic locations, all are invited to submit their original films.

Submissions must be in by September 10, 2021. Films can be on any topic such as conservation, education, community, destination, or just a good fishing story. The Film Competition is free to enter and open to the public.
