To say it as plainly as possible, there is no better way to take a crash course in fly fishing than with Hacklebarney and your host, Bill Sjovall. Besides having a great beard, Bill has taught this program for years and has it down to a science. I remember all attendees catching fish last year. Check out the flier and sign up. Its the best deal going and the best teacher from here to the Rockies.
Stream Monitoring Training this Saturday 3/21...
If you have an interest, I'll be attending a free seminar on Stream Monitoring at Primrose brook in the Great Swamp this Saturday. It sounds interesting and its free.

Maybe I'll see you there.
The Banquet
The banquet is coming up soon. On March 7th at 6pm, we will be hosting our biggest fundraising event of the year at The Exchange in Rockaway. The address is 160 East Main Street.
We will have great stuff for auction.
You can bid on trips to fish for wild trout, fish the salt, fish the East Branch, fish the Willowemoc and shoot clay pigeons.
You can bid to have a personal fly tying lesson with famous tyer and author Matt Grobert.
We will be auctioning off a handmade bamboo fly rod, sets of flies, wines, art and more.
Mark this one down on your calendar, and then RSVP to let us know you are coming as we need to give the Exchange an approximate headcount.
I'll be there, checkbook in hand.
Simms items came in...
We got another order of shwag from Simms in, including hats and tacos. It looks great. Bring your money to the February meeting!
