Hi Everyone,
It is almost March and our thoughts should be turning from skiing to fishing. Mine have already started to make the switch as I've been out twice in February;once on the Green where I floated the "B" section and once on the lower Provo. My trip on the Green was very good, but my day on the Provo was just ok. I know that some of you have fished a great deal more than that and we would like to hear about it, please post it on "Fishin Flash."
As for club news, our membership committee is starting to get organized and I want to thank the following members for volunteering to help Steve Caldwell with new member activities: Pat Ronneburg, Rich Lobrovich, Jim Blevins, Jim Pigg, John Kirby, and Dave Allison. Anyone who has joined the club in the last year should get in touch with one of these people. The best way is to email Steve Caldwell at steveatparkcity@yahoo.com
Another thing that we are going to try is a club facebook page which is being set up by Mike Leigh our club vp. Hopefully this will allow our members to communicate with each other and set up fishing outings. For example if someone decides to go fishing and wants company they can post on the page and anyone who wants to go can reply. We are also talking about some additional fishing trips this year. The trips that have been mentioned so far are Joe's Valley Reservoir, Scofield Reservoir and Southfork Reservoir near Elko. All of these locations have excellent camping and other fishing opportunities nearby. None of these trips are firmed up mostly for two reasons: it's too early,and someone has to be the leader. Anyone who wants to can volunteer to lead these trips or any other that you can think of. If you want to lead a trip somewhere just announce at a club meeting,post it on our facebook page or contact me and I will get the word out. Everyone should have my email address: jhnchanslor@yahoo.com
The Expo is coming up and we will need volunteers for Friday, April 6 and Sat, April 7. We will need 6 people for each day.
That's all for now, see you on the water.
Tight lines,
John Chanslor
