2014 Southern Council Fly Fishing Fair

[Micheal Kyle]

With this year Southern Council Fly Fishing fair behind us we are moving forward to next year’s event and are looking for any ideas that people would like to see or have done for next year so that we can build the fly fishing fair back to what it was in the past.

Something that we have already implemented is changing the days of the event to Friday – Sunday.

Jason Randall who writes for field and stream on a regular basis is going to be one of our key note speakers next year.

We have also hired a bluegrass band for Saturday night ‘Missouri Boat Ride” the event will be held in conjunction with a BBQ dinner Saturday night at the Fairgrounds and it will be open to the public for a small gate fee.

We will also be working closer with the Corp to make sure there is low water to ensure people can wade fish.

Any suggestions that you might have to enhance the event will be considered, the event is for us a whole community of fisherman and not just a few of us that sit on the board. Now is the time to let us know what you want and I can personally assure you any ligament idea will not fall on deaf ears.

If you also have suggestion for a keynote speaker that you would like to see let us know we are currently contacting a few to see if they would be interested in coming to the event.
