An evening with Grant and Lottie Richie - fishing NE Oregon

 

This evening we had 24 members and guest in attendance.

President Dave called our meeting this evening to order at 7:15. He announced that he was making arrangement with his medical appointments to return the club to our regular monthly meeting days of the second Wednesday of the month.
Our next club meeting will be Wednesday April 10.

This March 12^th meeting Treasurer Doug reports that we have $1707 in our bank account.

Secretary Dale gave a brief February meet's minutes report, and asked everyone to reference this blog site to stay abreast of the club's most recent happenings and those of the past 14 years.

It was noted that that club dues for 2024 were now due and at last November’s meeting it was agreed that the dues would now be Fifteen dollars ($15) for an individual’s membership and Twenty-Five dollars ($25) for a full family membership.

With the subject of club dues in mind, we made a historical reflection of things the club had been involve with (group activities and events) over the past 14 years. We also discussed a few plans to try to be involved with in 2024. 

• a 2024 Fly Fishing Fair – Annette Craig will be working on this project soon Waterbrook Winery about sponsoring a Fly Fishing Fair on their fish ponds in early June.

This evening we again had the pleasure of our used-to-be-neighbors Grant and Lottie Richie to join us, coming across the Blues in snow and cold giving our evening’s program.

Lottie and Grant own and operate Minam Store / Fishing – Hunting Guide Service on Hwy 82 at the confluence of the Wallowa and Minam rivers and from there provide fishing guide services on these rivers and the Grande Ronde River.

From here this blog is going to take a different twist and offer YOU a YouTube video produced by Grant and Lottie of their services.
A video beautifully well done…
