Fly fishing with Daniel and Robin into the New Year

 

This evening President Dave called our meeting to order at 7:08p.

We had 23 club members and guests in attendance for this meeting to start our 2024 New Year.

Prior to the business meeting dinner was served and fish tells were passed around the tables.

Introduced this evening were the new club officers for 2024, duly elected at our November 8th meeting. The new club officers are:

President - Dave Stemmer
Vice President - Tanner Druffel
Secretary - Dale McKain
Treasurer - Doug Coe


Dave            Doug            Dale          Tanner

This evening it was discussed making a change in our meetings location, maybe a location at not so large a room and with better acoustics. This topic will be continued to a later meeting after a survey of locations has been made. Do you have any suggestions?


Tom Craig is again chairing the leadership for the club participation at this year’s 
4-H Super Saturday – March 23rd.  Tom said that he would take the lead role for fly casting instructions, and Diane said that she would take the lead role for demonstrating fly tying.  All of those interested in helping with this event please contact Tom. This event will again be taking place at the Blue Mountain Community Church 928 Sturm Ave, Walla Walla, WA.




Our fly fishing program presentation this evening was a real treat. It was comprised a video presentation of the fly fishing excursions of fellow club members Robin and Daniel Biggs. 


Daniel has recently become more and more involved with producing videos for TV presentations, documentaries and fly fishing excursions.

Tonight Robin and Daniel took us to 6 nearby Oregon – Washington fly fishing locations and shared with on screen photos and video presentations, with descriptions of what you can find there. Of these there was: Strawberry Lake (needing a backpack float tubes), John Day River (near Service Creek, Oregon), Willow Lake (off of I-84), and Dusty Lake (Quincy Wildlife Area), and a few more that Daniel would prefer to share only by “just word of mouth”.
Many of these locations are stocked annually or more often, for everyone’s fishing enjoyment. Follow the links below for maps to and description of the locations mentioned in this evening presentation.
