Great turn out for Introduction to fly fishing+a mighty storm!!!

 

Start of day with a great group!!!

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!!!

Under cover tracking the storm!

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

Fly tying, just one of our 4 stations for instruction to include casting, knots and Intro to Fly fishing Equipment!!!

Introduction to Fly Fishing class held April 13th at Rio Guadalupe Resort

  • SATURDAY APRIL 13TH 2019: Introduction to Fly fishing from 9am-3:30pm at Rio Guadalupe Resort, 14130 River Road, Canyon Lake, Tx, 78132.  This class is divided into 4 parts that include fly tying, knots, equipment needed for fly fishing and a basic casting intro and review. After the classes held in the morning, we have open fishing on the river. Members will be available to help any newcomers to the sport   Those needing waders or boots can rent them at Action Anglers just down the road and can be fitted after lunch. Cost is $20 for all attendees. This includes your entrance fee and help in defraying our cost for lunch.  However, if you join the club that day by joining the IFF, the cost will be free.
  • Please make reservations for this class in that we only have 12 openings.  Reservations can be made by contacting us on the web site or via email to Mike Wright at mikewright2m@mac.com or 951-805-9713. Please try to reserve as soon as possible so we can get a good headcount for the lunch.
  • This is the FIRST TIME we have included fly fishing in the class.  I believe it will be a great experience for class participants to actually try fishing with the fly they tied.  We will furnish fly rods and reels on request if you do not have them.  Jus let us know when u register and we will try to accommodate you. Please bring your own flys and equipment if you have it.SOME PICTURES TO SHOW YOU TO “WET” YOUR APPETITE!!!!
