Message From Bill Egeland

Since we like to have a speaker at the meetings we continued to look for one and Vic was able to round up a good one at the last minute for tonight's Tailwater TU meeting.

Kyle Burrell (which most folks know as a "River Through Atlanta" guide) has agreed to come and speak at tonight's meeting. As this may make things a bit too full for our usual meeting time we may have to pospone some other scheduled things. The time is 6:30 and the place is the harchery.

May 9th. May 9th. May 9th. In my email from yesterday I posted the wrong day for the Sam Rizzio Fly Fishing Clinic. I won't even mention it here so as not to reinforce even more. Again, if you can volunteer to be a casting coach for the Kid's Clinic on MAY 9TH at the hatchery, please get in touch with me. Evidently the Georgia Women Fly Fishers are only providing about 3 instructors this year so we need a few more from Tailwater. I've told UCCTU I'm hoping for 10 from Tailwater and have about 6 or 7 presently. Remember, what you may consider "flailing" will look like Lefty Kreh to a kid new to fly casting!

And if you don't already have it, please put June 6th on your schedule as the date of the Jones Bridge Kid's Fishing Day.


Thanks,
Bill Egeland
Tailwater TU President
