Long-time club sponsor – the Fishing Center – will be closing down soon. Drop by the store and send regards to Loren and the crew. Right now fly tying materials are 50% off and there are other specials throughout the store.
On Friday November 4, the Fly Fishing Film Tour will be making a stop in Edmonton. Each film in the tour delivers a unique blend of stunning cinematography, comedy, and storytelling, and they share a common theme: to share their relentless passion for the sport by showcasing the best action footage and the most impressive fish ever caught.
Net proceeds from the Edmonton event will be donated to the Lloyd Shea Fisheries Enhancement Fund (administered by the TU Edmonton Chapter).
Tickets are $15 in advance at Fishin’ Hole locations or $20 at the door.
It is with sadness that we recognize the passing of long-time Northern Lights member Rocky Lavigne on July 19, 2011.
A scattering of ashes will be done at Mount Pleasant Rose Garden (106 Street 52-55 Ave) on Saturday July 30 at 2:00 p.m.
We will sure miss him. He sure could put a smile on your face even if you were down.
Another good one gone. Fishing will be great where he is now.
Again Rocky, you will be missed.
Cabela’s new store will be opening in Edmonton in August. As part of the grand opening events, Cabela’s has asked us to provide support or demonstrations for fly casting to be held outdoors at their new store. We need a few volunteers to help with fly casting demonstrations outdoors and promote our club at the new store between 11:00 and 3:00 on August 4 through August 7. Please sign up on the club forum.
The working committee has been busy planning the activities related to the Grayling Survey. Some of the highlights include:
Our next step is to assemble the anglers for a brief training session and start fishing! The anglers information session will be held on July 12. Watch for more details about the time and location.
This forum has been set up for discussion about the survey.
The last regular meeting of the season will be a barbeque at Muir Lake on Wednesday June 15. The barbeque will be at 7:00 – food and drinks will be supplied. Bring some lawn chairs and your fishing gear. This is a rain or shine event.
Regular meetings will start again on September 14. Through the summer, watch for trip notifications and reports in the forums. There will also be more information about the Greyling survey in the forums and on the Grayling page.
