Here's a note from Alan Canfield - mark this on your calendars!
The Lower Umpqua Flycasters is offering a Fly Fishing Expo on Saturday, February 24th. It will be at the Reedsport High School, 22nd Street and Highway 101 from 9:00am to 4:00pm. There will be fly tying, fly casting demos, equipment displays, information tables and displays by various stream and fish enhancement groups.A concession stand will solve your hunger urge and there will be FREE door prizes and raffle drawings. Among the tyers demonstrating their talents will be CCFF member, John Peterson. John is a former member of the Lower Umpqua club. He knows Frank Moore, owner of the famous Steam Boat Inn on the Umpqua, and a certified FFF Casting Instructor, who normally shows up at these meetings to share his expertise. John believes attending will be a learning and motivating experience for CCFF members who make the short drive to Reedsport. I've added it to my calendar and would hope we will have a good number of our folks there. By the way, it's free, always a good thing. The Oregon Council FFF Expo will be in Albany on March 9th and 10th and will be another valuable experience for those who can attend. So far, I'm aware of at least seven CCFF members who are planning to be there.
Our next meeting is February 8th.
