TIPS FOR FEBRUARY
In keeping with my promise for 3 Fly Fishing Tips Each Month here ya go.
1. STREAMERS, STREAMERS, STREAMERS - This is the time of year to target the BIG fish on streamers -Trout, Stripers and soon the Smallmouth will be running. Several of us made the TU meeting held here in the Boro last Monday night and got a nice presentation on streamer fishing for trout. Mouths were watering all over and not because of the food. Clousers are fun, as are some of the home-grown or older patterns. last year I was tying and fishing a Warden's Worry - a streamer developed in the '20s (you know -the last depression)
2. Local information - Cumberland Transit Board http://forums.cumberlandtransit.com/forumlist.asp?SID=1&FID=3 Great place to check out what's going on in our local Fly Fishing community. If you're too busy to run by CT everyday like Mark Joines does you can always check the board.
3. Manly Get-a-Way - Some of you may remember me fishing North Carolina last year (and bragging about the 18" Brookie AND the 19" rainbow) - well it's not too early to sign up for one of the Men's Outdoor Ministry Network retreats at either the Ridgecrest Conference Center in Asheville N.C. or the Glorieta Conference Center in N.M http://www.lifeway.com/lwc/article_main_page/0,1703,A%253D159518%2526M%253D201125,00.html These trips are a great way to work on your Spirit AND your backcast. Blake Morgan and I have both done these so see us if you have any questions.
OK here's a freebie http://naboursandfriends.blogspot.com/ Pass this on to EVERYBODY you know - great project of OUR Heroes. Note the logo - designed by our own Blake Morgan with a push from Captain Perry.
OK, I'm out of breath -next meeting is a tying meeting the last Thursday in MARCH - we have new vises to try out thanks to a donation from one of our members so practice NOT breaking anything. April is Warmwater Fish and May will be midge fishing. See you on the river.
"And May God Bless"

Calvary Outfitters - Tips for January
Here's a new little service we hope to provide monthly - 3 tips to save money, increase your fishing pleasure, elucidate your mind or just plain confound.
The tips for January 2009 are:
1. Big Y Flies http://www.bigyflyco.com/ is offering 10% off to all Tennessee residents the month of January. Just type in TN in the promotion code. I just ordered some streamers and zonkers and was well pleased with the quality and got the order in about 3 days.
2. TU on TV. "On the Rise", the Trout Unlimited supported fly-fishing show is back on the Outdoor Channel (270 on local comcast I think). Great show and rumor has it they were in Arkansas on the White and Little Red and caught a beast.
3. TU in the Boro' - we've been working with the Cumberland Chapter of Trout Unlimited and they are going to hold their February meeting here in Murfreesboro - more details to follow.

Calvary Outfitters - Fishing Report - Blake Morgan
Mark Roberts and I (Blake Morgan) took a half-day drift boat trip down the Caney Fork from the dam to Happy Hollow this past Saturday. It was a beautiful day and no one was out. I caught the biggest couple of fish for my own personal record! I reeled in three browns (17", 16", and 14") and a brookie that was about 10". The 17" looked big, until a trout almost twice as big cruised by as I was bringing him in. Mark steered the boat, but was able to catch 3 rainbows, with the biggest being around 14". So together we were able to achieve the grand slam. It was a great day!
