| | July Activities Night Events |
|---|
| what: |
The July activities night continues with three events. |
| fly tying: |
Dave Kruss and Harold Patterson will be providing fly tying help to
beginners and intermediate students who wish to continue their skills in
a more informal setting. They are both open to suggestions so if you have
a particular pattern you'd like to try, contact either of them.
|
| tackle & gear: |
Mike McGuire will teach a class on outfitting for a hiking/fly fishing
trip. When you're up in the mountains, every ounce counts. Mike will
show you how to economize on weight and still be able to fish where
most of the hikers can't get to. See this month's "How To" article for
a preview.
|
| rod building: |
Doug Webber will continue work with his current students as they finish up
their current projects. For those of you interested in starting rod building,
his class-cycle will start anew with the Sept. 1 Activities Night meeting.

| | Tie Flies to Support the Club |
|---|
| what: |
The July Installation Dinner is less than two months off. One of the most
popular events at the dinner is the silent auction, featuring flies
tied by PFF members. You can help the club and your fellow non-tying
PFF colleagues by tying up a dozen (or two) of your favorite pattern
for the auction.
Put any fly donations in a plastic bag (or other container) and give them
to Dave Kruss. He will transfer them to our custom PFF fly boxes for the auction.
See Dave to make arrangements for your delivery.
|
| why: |
The silent auction is one of our major fundraising events and we typically
have 20 to 30 boxes of flies on the auction block. But even more fun for
a fly tier is to see how much members are willing to pay for their creations.

| | Annual Membership Renewal |
|---|
| what: |
Membership renewal forms will be going out into the mail shortly so watch
your mailboxes. If you don't received your renewal form in the mail
by the end of June, contact JC (our membership chairman) or download

| | Spring Fly Swap – All Flies Due by 12 June |

been filled by talented club members. You can see the current submissions

Drys

| | Keep an Eye Open for the (New) PFF Newsletter |
|---|
| what: |
As reported here last month, Mike Pinelli, has graciously volunteered to take on the
reponsibilities as editor of the paper newsletter. The first edition should be
hitting your mailboxes soon.
|
note: |
Please keep in mind that it is substantially more expensive to the club to print and
mail these newsletters and the content will follow the web version closely. Also,
we will post a pdf file on the website each month that will allow you to
download and print your own paper newsletter. If you would like to save the
club some money and save some trees by using the current web version, please notify
either Mike or .
