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"
