Ladies and Gents of TFF,

Saturday, April 18th, we as a club are again helping teach flyfishing to the Boy Scouts at Camp Cary for their 'Merit Badge Midway'. There will be two three-hour classes. 1) 9am-noon, 2) 1pm-4pm. Again I can use ALL the help I can from you to help with hands-on casting, tying, etc.

We had a great time last year and hope to again...also hoping the weather's better this year. I believe Les will be cookin' some fabulous traditional Boy Scout lunch for us.

Please let me know via this site or personal email or IM if you can attend. We can use you for whatever part of the day you can make or whole day if possible. These Scouts are enthusiastic and just eat up all the knowlege we can give them.

Again, I'd like a headcount of who can attend and help...and if you can bring materials for tying and perhaps extra rods/reels for casting instruction and practice.

Thanks for all and let me know!

There's a fine line between flyfishing and standing in the middle of a river waving a stick and looking stupid...

I am planning to be there for at least 1 of the 2 sessions.

Keep us posted on what the needs are for equipment and numbers of helpers and I'll see what I can contribute. I have a handful of rods, but don't have reels/line for all of them.

Are they going to learn to tie a specific fly or what kind of materials do you need?

I have an appointment on the 18th in Richmond but it is nothing I can't get out of at this time.

Menu will be Les's not yet famous chili. Don't worry it isn't too hot.

Will stick around for the not so famous chili if I do the morning stint. I'll bring a couple rod set ups.
