GROUP CANCELLED

Hello! The ARC fly fishers group is now cancelled. Please stay tuned next year as there might be some more fly fishing events in '09

Fly Fishing group

Hey guys! Just a quick FYI. There has not been a lot of turn out to the fly fishing outings. Basically one guy per time. If you are planning to come to any of the future meetings, please RSVP to ShemH2004@Yahoo.com on the Friday before the Sunday outing. If I do not get any RSVP's, then the outing will not occur. I just don't want to have to pack everything up and get all ready, and have no one there (or just one guy). It looks like the group will not continue on past July 27th, just due to low numbers. If you have any thoughts or questions, please feel free to call or email me at the below phone number and email address. Also, if you could, please forward this blog link to any buddies of yours that might of been interested in going to any of the outings.

Best,

Shem

6/8/08 Fishing CANCELLATION

Hello all! After checking on http://www.weather.com/ (and looking outside!) I have decided to cancel today's men's church fly fishing outing. It looks like severe scattered T-storms from now until late tonight, and we are under a severe flash flood watch as well. Also, from all the rain that has happened over the past few days, the streams would be super muddy and running fast...thus equaling bad fishing anyways. However, as long as the weather keeps OK later on over the next week or so, we will still plan on meeting again on 6/22/08.

Please also check this group blog for any updates as well. If you have any friends that were thinking of coming today, please forward this email to them. Also, general info on this group can be found on the ARC men's link of http://autumnridgechurch.org/adult/men/fly-fishers.html .

God Bless,

Shem

A few pics.....

I took this one a few weeks ago...brings a whole new meaning to "you got mail!" And of course a shot of bucksnort dam.

For the Calander

Hey all! Don't forget; Next meeting is May 25th, @ ARC, meet in the foyer or parking lot @ 4pm.

Best,


Shem

Thoughts on James

So, have been reading a lot of James lately. Actually have probably read the book now about 3 times over the past few weeks....I think this is a wonderful book, as to me, there is very little left for interpretation. It pretty much tells it to you the way it is. I like that. It is such a good book to bring things back into perspective and to give pause to think about some of our daily things in life.

So, that's just my two cents. Check out James and read up! Good stuff!

Tight lines!

Flies to use about now

So....some flies I have been using with luck these past few weeks: BWO size #18 and #20, Pheasant Tail (sparkle) at size #18, and I think Caddis should be coming out soon (if not already out).....also don't forget you can still get luck off of the pink squirrel as well as the brassies (#18)
