November 2011 Meeting

CHANGE OF MEETING LOCATION

LOCATION:  Canyon Crest, Trailside Rm

DATE:  November 17, 2011

TIME:  7:00p.m.

 SPEAKER:  Red Montgomery

Red Montgomery, now retired, was the owner of the former Snake River Outfitters in Twin Falls. Red’s fly shop was not only the best place to get nearly all a fly fisher might need to pursue his/her sport, but, along with all the equipment and supplies, Red was a fountain of knowledge on what fly to use and where; how to tie the fly; and when to use the fly. His knowledge was not limited just to the Magic Valley but was based on practical experience he gained from fishing throughout the West. But perhaps the best feature of his fly shop was the old cracker barrel atmosphere where tall tales were swapped, politics were cussed and discussed–all over a cup of coffee that was known to melt stirring spoons. Red will put on a fly tying program at our November meeting–don’t miss it!!
