Conservation through Education.
This past Monday 5/19 we got together at Tel Hai pond to celebrate Fishnic' 25! It was chilly and blustery but that didn't prevent the gang from grilling some brats, re- telling fish tales , and fishing. The gift of these things is being with each other. Take a look and resolve to join us next year!
April 28th Club Meeting
Last evening we had the pleasure of Henry Ramsay's portrayal of the bugs he sees on trout streams conveyed as masterpieces of fur and feathers. His presentation carefully illuminates the natural characteristics of some of common Easten aqautic fish foods ... followed by his uncanny depictions of them as tied flies in their stages of development.
Some of us were familiar with portions of his presenttion after reading his book "Matching Major Eastern Hatches". (https://www.amazon.com/Matching-Major.../dp/081170730X). But he's added some new stuff.
I was particulalry intrigued by his patterns that imitate early black and brown stoneflies. That's because I've seen a lot of them on the stream in early spring/late winter and never caught a trout with any of my wretched patterns. Hey 'ya never know!
Henry is just the latest in a string of Dame Juliana League hits. Watch here for news about our next event in May : Fishnic'25!
We had a wonderfull turnout for our Annual Fly Tying Bee. 27 guests came to mess with feathers, hooks and dubbing! Thanks to the 7 featured tyers, our three greeters, the members who brough edibles and, of course, our guests. We're hoping some of you who are not members, become one soon!
