If you are a PFF volunteer (officer, director, or committee chairman) and would like to get or change your picture on the website, Rodney or Dennis will be happy to snap a new photo. A photographer will be at the Workshop (Aug 5) and at the General Meeting (Aug 19). |

| | Search The PFF Website |

Courtesy of the search engine Google, the PFF website has a new feature: a search box. It is located on the home page, at the bottom of the left navigation column. |
| to use it: |
Click in the white text input box. Type in a search term, such as
Almanor. Notice that the PFF button, rather than the Web button, is
pre-selected. (You can search the whole world wide web by clicking the
web button.) Click the Search button and Google will return a list of
links to PFF pages with your search term(s). Try
it out. |
| | Short Reports |
|---|
| what: |
We're adding a new section to our website: "The Short Reports". This section will contain any and all brief fishing reports from PFF members. So if you've had a great outing recently and want to share it with us, send the web editor a couple of paragraphs and a photo if you have one. |

Newbie-Member Fishout on the McCloud |
|---|
| details: |
I have four rods reserved for this wonderful location which means three lucky members get to join me at the Preserve. To encourage newer members to particpate in PFF outings, initially this fishout will be open only to members who have joined the club since Jan 2003. (If we don't fill all the slots by the September General Meeting, "seasoned" members will be welcome to join us.) |
| accomodations: |
Generally, fishers camp at the nearby Ah-Di-Nah campground, which, unbelievably, features real plumbing. It is also possible to stay in the town of McCloud and drive the twenty miles or so to the Preserve. Be warned that seven of those miles are on a bumpy dirt forest road, so it is generally slow driving. |

| | Roger Finke's Silver Salmon Alaska Fishout |
| when: | 18–25 September 2004 |
| where: | Tsiu River, Alaska |
| quarry: | Silver Salmon |
| details: |
This stream, about midway between Cordova and Yakutat, is regarded by many as the premier Silver (Coho) salmon stream in Alaska. The fish are larger than in many other streams, ranging 20–25 pounds, and will readily take surface lures. We will overnight in Yakutat on the way up, and in Seattle on the way back, spending 5+ days fishing.
|
| reservations: |
Book very soon, because this is the peak season in SE Alaska and both the flights into Yakutat and lodging there fill up very early. The only lodge on the river also will fill early as only twenty anglers can be accommodated on the entire river.
|
| cost: |
| lodge | $2250 |
| airfare round-trip from SFO | $1100 approx |
| miscellaneous | $ 200 approx |
| total | $3500 approx |
