The Newscaster from January 2023
What a difference a couple of weeks can make. Earlier I was able to find a fair amount of open water . . . .
on the next foray, even the ducks were struggling to find any liquid.
The results were the same: never got a touch. Then a couple of days later, Mike Stanton tells me, he caught four — — — -

Looking ahead, you all might enjoy a trip to Boise on the afternoon of Jan 6th, and all day on 7th; the Western Idaho Fly Fishing Expo is happening, with lots to see, experience and learn. Our own Royce Stearns will be one of several exhibition tyers featured. Here is a link for the program: Idaho Fly Fishing Expo
Our next membership meeting, scheduled for Jan. 10, is still in the planning stages: if you have any ideas for an interesting program, let someone on the “board” know . . .
January’s flytying session may be in jeopardy, due to a scheduling conflict at the library: stay tuned.
Let’s be thinking ahead, brewing up some ideas for club outings as the seasons change. I am dreaming of places like this:
Good morning, all. Our usual monthly general meeting will be tomorrow at Idaho Pizza, 7:00 pm. Ray Perkins is on tap to discuss his methods of organizing flies and tackle.
The fly tying session on the 17th will be at Artful Bon’s; come learn about material dyeing and some useful techniques with fur. You could leave with some materials for your future tying.
The normal date for the February general meeting conflicts with Valentine’s day, so we will be holding it an evening early, on Monday the 13th.
Several of us made it to the Western Fly Fishing Expo: had some fun and learned a bit. Pictures by Bob Maki
