Looking forward to Jeff Evan's talk on Spey Fishing this Wednesday... and, in addition to the usual club notices & updates and raffle of small items, we got more.
Fly Exchange!
Bring one or more pairs of flies! For each pair you contribute, you'll get one ticket into a drawing for half the flies contributed! The other half will go home with the winner of a bonus drawing of all the general raffle tickets sold. Note that the flies can be self tied or store bought. But no used flies, please.
Book Giva-a-way!
Traditional Wet Flies and Soft HacklesThe club collected a number of books and videos over the years which need a better home. We'll have these at the meeting, please take any you want home with you! You are welcome to leave a small contribution behind in thanks.
A nice box of flies appropriate for Spey Fishing will be raffled off!
When: Wednesday, 8 March. Doors open at 6:30pm, social until program starts at 7pm.
Location: Elks Lodge in the Ranchos
Lastly, the West Walker FIsh Out has been canceled due to access issues and weather/river forecast.
If you'd like to volunteer to organize a fish out or camp out or provide a feature presentation at a general meeting, please email us at in...@hsfc.us.
