Robert Sallee with steelhead
- RIP -
dear friend and fishing pal
This evening we had 12 members and guest in attendance.
After dinner, we were expecting Ex-President Dave, having previously announced that he would be running late (with family affairs), to come and conduct our meeting. Secretary Dale took the reigns while in waiting, and ask if there were any fishing tails to tell about. Doug said that he had been fishing steelhead on the Klickitat River, and he had caught a few. He reported that that river was a bit murky, but fish were catching his flies.
We also discussed the usual timing of the steelhead run upriver along the Columbia, and thoughts of near future trips following the run into the tributaries of the Deschutes, John Day, Umatilla, Grand Ronde, and Yakima rivers.

We heard about several club members that had planned to make fishing trips on Wallowa River and high lakes today. Hope to get some good October fishing reports from these member in the very near future. There has been a number of the usual October snowfall reports coming from the Wallowa and Elkhorn mountain ranges - tis the season.
an Anthony Lake fishing trip - October 18th
Tom, reported that he had returned home just a few hours ago from a cruise-tour in the eastern Mediterranean, and no fly fishing was allowed from their ship.The cruise was very pleasant, except for the recent outbreak of war in that area - they had to leave.
We then had a short discussion about the upcoming Fly Fishing Film Tour presentation -November 9th- at the Gesa Power House Theater, in Walla Walla. Dale said that he had sent out a couple of club Emails announcing this presentation and it was discussed about contacting the theater to see if the club could set up some kind of display to promote OUR club's presence in the community at this showing.
This presentation is being hosted by Washington Water Trust.

This evening we had plans for the election of new club officers, but without Dave being present, this will be postponed until our November 8th meeting. At that meeting we are thinking about having a fly fishing tackle SWAP, and Dale will be Emailing details in the near future concerning the setup for this event.
In November we will be returning to our usual Second Wednesday of the month meeting schedule.
This meeting was adjourned at 7:45.
Respectfully submitted,
Dale McKain
Club Secretary
