grizwilson Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 The MTFA Trout Derby is just a few weeks away (May 16-17). A brief schedule of events follows: Memorial Service – Saturday 11:00 AM Annual Meeting and Fish Fry - Saturday 5:00 PM Awards – Sunday 12:00 PM The annual meeting and fish fry begins at 5:00 PM and will be held in the Valley at Sand Springs Resort along the Niangua River. Drive into the Valley and look for the large tent. Fresh fried fish, burgers, hot dogs with all the sides will be the fare. (Contributions to help with the cost will be greatly appreciated). MDC officer Craig Fuller will visit with us as to our concerns for the Niangua River Fishery. Great prizes this year including fly rods, fly lines, rod & line cases and lots of other great fishing gear can be yours if the right trout selects you. Otherwise you could be at the mercy of the raffle. The Springfield Chapter is the host for this years Derby. The Derby is an annual event sponsored by the MTFA State Council. Great Derby prizes and raffle prizes will be awarded. Registration for the Derby will begin at 7:00 P: M May 15th.

The Memorial Service honoring our deceased members is 11:00 Saturday with the annual meeting, dinner and program at 5:00. Craig Fuller from MDC will be our featured speaker offering insight as to the Niangua rivers white designation. I know you don’t want to miss this event.
