This can be a tough time of year to fish, but I always try to get out a few times to the local lakes, so at the very least I can tell my fishing buddies from cold climates that I was out fishing for bass and crappies in my shirt sleeves while they were out shoveling snow. Heads up that our annual DFC banquet will be held Wednesday February 11, at the Knights of Columbus hall in Chandler. For the most part, it will be like our recent ban- quets with the board supplying turkeys, ham and ribs. We’re going to try something a little different this year though--we are asking member with names beginning A-F to bring a dessert, and those with names G-Z to bring a side dish. The DFC banquet committee is hard at work to make this a great event, but we could use your help in soliciting donations from local businesses, as well as consider- ing making a donation on your own. This is the big annual fund raiser for our club, and helps fund the activities in our club. Your help is much appreciated! JANUARY It’s also not too soon to start thinking about giving back to the fly fishing community. The Desert Fly Wednesday, Casters do a great job for our members in providing education (fly tying, casting, rod building, fly fish- January 14, 2015 ing 101) as well as great monthly speakers (Skip Morris, Phil Rowley, flyfishingfood.com guys) and fun Chit-Chat: 5:30 • Dinner: 6:30 outings (White Mountains, Lee’s Ferry, the San Juan etc.) I’m hopeful that we have some folks in the club Meeting/Guest Speaker: 7:00 that are willing to step up and help us provide these services. You do not need to be an expert fly fish- erperson—enthusiasm and drive go a long way!

If the rivers get really crowded, don't forget the lakes. We have an abundance of opportunities to fish stillwater in our area. If you went to Denny Rickards' program at last month's meeting, you heard him say that you can't learn to fish from a book - you need to put the hours in on the water. That's good advice - go fishing more! I love this time of the year! June also brings us to the BC trip. There are so many different lakes to explore within 50 miles of our camp that you could fish a different lake each day of our 8 days of fishing - for many years! If you are planning to go on the trip, and haven't talked with Gordon Chandler yet, you must do so as quickly as possible! You also need to get your money in to the treasurer before the trip.

Stripers on the Fly Eisenhower State Park, Lake Texoma Denison, TX – August 20 – 22, 2010 TWFF is gearing up to go another round with the stripers behind the dam at Eisenhower State Park. Our last visit there was December 2008 and the stripers were nowhere to be found. ARGHHHH!!!! After a busy 2009 summer of some of the local TWFFers catching record numbers of stripers, we are bringing the club back for another round of striper fishing; some scores just beg to be settled and this is one of them! Our outing headquarters will be at Eisenhower State Park and we will be renting the Recreation Cen- ter for our headquarters. Admittance to the park is free so be sure and tell them you are a member of Texas Women Fly Fishers when you enter the park. Anyone arriving early on Friday afternoon can join us at the Rec Center for some casting lessons. We should be there by noon on Friday. We’ve had some exciting developments about our Texoma outing since our June newsletter. We had mentioned that a notorious group of women fishers had been invited to join us at the outing and they have accepted our invitation. Joining us at Texoma will be the Dallas Bass’n Gals, a North Texas group of tournament fishing lady anglers. This group of lady anglers has been together since 1984 and they fish 9 tournaments a year. You can find more information about the group at their website: http://www.fishingworld.com/DallasBassNGals/.
