Since we are still without a club President and Vice President, Secretary Dale McKain and Past President Dave Stemmer were MCs for this evening program.
The evening's club business was conducted in a rather informal manner, with a briefing of current fishing trips, past events and current planned events.
Treasurer Harold Saxby stayed busy collecting membership dues, and selling Fly Box Raffle tickets. This evening we had three (3) fly boxes to distribute - one (1) for the evening door prize and two (2) for raffle tickets sold. Each box contained over $50 worth of flies.
Before the fly box transactions, after dinner was served we had our program presentation given by Kyle Bratcher - fishery biologist with Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, Enterprise Office.
Kyle and his wife are avid fly fishers
Kyle being raised in Baker, Oregon has been able to secure a job with ODFW in his home waters of Union, Baker, and Wallowa counties. A very lucky guy.
This area of NE Oregon is one of a few that has Year
Round Open fishing season for trout.
Since this presentation was a slide show -in the dark- one had to be here to learn all that was said. We hope that these slide clips will create enough interest to cause you to want to go fishing in a corner of the Oregon Heaven.
Because this slide presentation was given in the dark, and the camera shots shown here are not of the best - clear quality, you may wish to open the program via this PDF attachment.

Thereafter our meeting was adjourned at 8:35.
Our next meeting, and the last before our summer "Let's go fishing" break will be Wednesday May 10th.
Respectfully submitted,
Dale McKain
Club Secretary
