Tightlines Meeting - April 19Th

This club was started in 1996 by Sallyann Brown when she saw a need to draw local fly fishers together. We currently have around fifty active members from the Northwest Arkansas area. We are a Federation of Fly Fishers associate club and are members of the Southern Council. We meet on the third Monday of each month at Jim’s Razorback Pizza in Springdale on Highway 412 (1528 West Sunset). Our meetings are a social hour starting at 6:00pm and meeting starting at 7:00pm.

From the President......

All,

The April Tightlines Fly Fishing Club meeting is on Monday April 19th at 7pm. As usual, some of us arrive at around 6pm for some dinner, a cold drink, and possibly some fish stories before the meeting.

Ken and Kevin will be gone for the April meeting. As most of you know, they are coordinators of the Reel Recovery Outing that will be taking place that week in NW Arkansas at Spring Valley Anglers and that event starts that Monday. Ken and Kevin will be passing the baton as officers to someone new in April or May. Ballots went out, and I hope you filled them out and sent them back in. We very much appreciate all the work and time they both have put into the club the last couple of years as officers.

I would also like to request that all members consider what type of goals you would like to see Tightlines work towards this year. Please bring your ideas to the April meeting. If you do not normally come to the meetings, then please feel free to reply to this email with any ideas you may have. I will compile a list and present it at the May meeting.

Would you like different activities? Is the third Monday of the month a bad time to meet? Would you like different outings? Would you like some sort of fishing buddy email list? Please let me know if you have any ideas to help the club grow and be successful.

Another idea that has floated around is a monthly tying session separate from the meeting. I know Ken did some things along those lines last year. He helped me with my Hare's Ear nymph tying. Mine looked pretty bad until that session. Would something like that be of interest?

Please let me know your ideas and if you have any questions.

Thanks

Wayne
