October Meeting Information

Our next meeting will be Tuesday Oct 27th at 7:00 at the NW Savings Bank in Franklin. We will have another guest speaker from the PA Fish and Boat Commission who will speak about steelhead fishing in Erie and some of the latest stream access locations the state has acquired from the Lake Erie stamp program. He will also discuss a new training certification (free) they have started to train fly fishers to be instructors to those organizations (churches, boy scouts) who would like an introduction to fly fishing. This would help get our name out there. He mentioned that we could assist with their family fly fishing program that they started this summer. One was held at Oil Creek and it was pretty successful with 2 groups of 20 people.

Also we will be tying some steelhead flies (sucker spawn etc.).

One thing we will try is a beginning fly tying course.  This is a good time for those of you who thought about tying but never started to finally get in gear. We will have a few vices available and some tools if you don't have any to get you started. We will also have some tying materials. You should however get your own gear after the first couple of meetings.

You will also need to practice in between meetings so you are able to move on to the next task at the next meeting.  If you want to take part in this beginner class, PLEASE BE THERE PRIOR TO 7PM, THE CLASS WILL START AT 7PM SHARP.

We also still have 2 spots available for rod building. If interested please let me know ASAP as we are running out of time to get started.

Don't forget we have a 50/50 drawing so bring a couple bucks if you can. This helps us raise money since we are a non profit group.

Hope everyone can make the meeting. See you the 27th.
