November President’s Line
December 9, 2009 by Cherbert · Leave a Comment
As we start a new year of leadership with Magic Valley Fly Fisher’s I am excited to work with each and everyone on opportunities that will promote our great passion. With this passion comes responsibility to educate, promote, and conserve. It is time we give back to our natural resource and provide opportunities for our kids, grandkids, and great grandchildren. With that in mind, be thinking of some stream restoration projects we can work on in the next year oryears to come. Conservation is the key to preserve this sport we all love!
With another fishing season come and gone we move into winter to finds more time to sit down, tie some replacements and reminisce about eh big one that got away. This time of year is confusing as the fall/winter season kicks off the many bird hunting/fishing opportunities that exist. One is torn between long hikes to replace that precious fly tying material, or the surreal backdrop of heads bobbing out of the water picking off emerging insects as if were buy one get one free at the Golden Corral. Personally I have found myself trying to replace a few feathers as of lately. However, don’t let the shorter days discourage you on the water, with colder water temperatures and a prolific Baetis hatch one can find fish rising on all our area waters.
As we move closer to the holiday season our Christmas party is just around the corner. This year we will be holding it on December 11th at Anderson Camp. In tradition fashion I cannot wait to eat fried turkey, that enornouse ham, and all those great dishes provided by the wonderful club members. Remember tro bring your own adult beverages.
This yer our featured speaker will be Todd Lanning from Eastern Idaho. Todd spent several years in the Ketchum area guiding for Headwters. He now is in charge of the day to day operations at South Fork Outfitters in Swan Valley, Idaho. Todd has many years of tail water and spring creek experience; his presentations are always crowd pleasers. So get geared up, bring that special dish and I hope to see all of you there. Don’t foreget your checkbooks for the raffle!
Remember fly tiers bring in your favorite creations so we have plenty of flies for this years’s hat bank. You can contact me or Chad Chorney!
