MONTHLY MEETINGS: |
Guest Speaker: Tom Atkins,
Peak Oil 7:10 8:20 pm Guest Tier: Our guest fly tier for the May 7 meeting will be Mac Packer from Macs Custom Flies in Aurora. He tied for us at the clinic in February and was set up at the tables next to us @ the second weekend that we were at Bass Pros Fishing Days in March. He has been a wholesaler of tying materials to local shops for almost 20 years and consequently has a very ample supply of products that he will be bringing with him for the opportunity to purchase. He not only has tying materials but also I believe assorted lead weight molds for jigs. He said he will make us TU guys a killer deal on the items & also put together some packages and maybe have a small silent auction at his table (per Freds suggestion). A short biography: A native Coloradoan (theres not many of us!), he has been tying commercially and supplying flies/materials to local shops as a wholesaler since 1990. He got the Fly Fishing bug when he was a kid actually learning from Joe Butler at an event that he was attending way before Joe had gray hair to quote Mac. He started doing his own tying shortly thereafter and has been hooked on it for about 30 years. He has traversed the state throughout his life in search of his favorite fishing holes with much success! MACS

Upcoming Events: |

This Derby is a competition for terminally ill children from area hospitals. Many have never seen a fish outside a tank, let alone fished. Some children have mastered the art of fishing. Some are wheelchair bound or otherwise physically handicapped. Others are mentally challenged. But, it is an activity they love, and which we also love. Volunteers are needed. Contact Bob Untener at <grey1271@netzero.net> or by phone at 303-517-0892. For additional information, see <www.josephsjourney.org> or call either Kim or Vickie Stewart at 303-989-5710.
The picnic
will be held at Lions Park, in Golden, which is located on 10th street,
Wednesday evening, August 6. This will be a potluck affair, although the
Chapter will be providing hot dogs and soft drinks. If you want something
stiffer than soft drinks, you can BYOB. The intent is to have
some games available, for example, volleyball. Theres fishing for
the kids on an adjacent pond. And, theres no admission fee! The
Chapter picnic is an ideal time to socialize with your fellow members,
and a good time will be had by all those who attend. |

Other water samples are forwarded to the DOW for different testing. The results of these tests are posted to the internet. Volunteers meet at 9 am near the Golden Municipal Building at the west end of Lions Park (directions to the Park). For more information contact Gil Hassinger, 303.980.5616. Apr 26th
