As the days grow longer and the day-dreams of reising trout increase, I find myself gazing ou the window only to find winter is still in full swing. Moving into the latter part of January and the first of February you will find an increase in afternoon temperatures promoting my favorite little guy to emerge. Yes folks it is that time of year, the BWO’s will be dancing in a few weeks with intermittent sporadic hatches of snow flies (midges).
With that being said we will be having our annual banquet, and folks we need all the help we can get. I know it has been a hard year for local businesses, heck it has been a hard year for all of us. With the economy on the up swing, let’s get out there and pound the pavement for donations.
Our guest speaker comes to us from Colorado and is Trout Unlimited’s Host of On The Rise, Frank Smethhurst. Frank will be talking on the importance of leaving each and everyone of your legacy for the generations to come, and his different travels to clubs like ours around the nation that are making a difference not only in their fisheries but the guture of our great past time.
We are going to role the dice this year and change things up a little. As you will see, we are going to spice things up in the newsletter and club meetings. First we are going to highlight local tiers in the club and give them a 30 minute demo at each meeting. We are going to highlight local tiers in the club and give them a 30 minute demo at each meeting. We are going to update fishing reports for our local hot spots and hopefully do some philanthropy work for the less fortunate kids not only in our community but those surrounding our community. We are also going to do a tips and tactics section in the newsletter and update rountinely on the website.
With all this being said, I am going to ask for Volunteers to help with a Carp Fly Fishing Tournament. Proceeds will be donated to the Camp Rainbow Gold Cancer Camp for Children. We also will have club members the last week in August donate their time to help teach these terminally ill children the Joy of Fly Fishing hopefully bringing the same smile to their face as it does ours every time we yell fish on. This can be as big as a “B run Steely” so please help me hlep these kids with their battle against cancer.
Last but not least for you steelhead gurus don’t miss this January meeting. Les Reitz will be tying his famous Lazer Butt Skunk Fly. Come learn from our very own 2 hand fanatic how he does it each and every year. I think his motto is “Swing It”!!!
Stay tuned for a MVFF Spey Clave!!!
Coming Soon to a River Near You!!

John Huber, Travel Manager for Ketchum on the Fly, gave a timely presentation entitled, “Winter Primer”. It was an excellent presentation that included what flies to use, leaders and tippets, strike indicators, holding water, soft rods, reels, floatant, tim
ing-best days, and releasing fish in cold weather. He also said to always have a change of dry clothes in case you accidentally get dunked in cold water. Immediately head for your vehicle to get warm and change to avoid hypothermia – Sound advice. view this excerpt from the meeting Winter Fishing Primer
