Several members showed up at the Colorado Steakhouse for the monthly meeting along with a few new prospects. Among those prospects was a young man named Rowan that had a great looking fly box and boy was he fishy. His favorite fly was a hair mouse that someone had given him. Hope to see you soon Rowan.
A short meeting was held after fellowship time and officers were elected for 2014. Tim Mather will be President, Mike Donovan will be Vice President and Program Manager, Barry Clarke will remain Treasurer.
Kevin Montague was our first speaker and he presented us with a great slide show about How to Take Better Digital Photos. Kevin also had tips on new waterproof digital cameras and getting them set to take decent photos. He also gave tips on taking effective close up photos of our flies with minimal equipment. His best advice for taking good fishing photos with inexpensive digital cameras was that we should catch bigger fish. Thanks Kevin!
Mike Donovan showed us how he ties a Black Nosed Dace fly in Irish Flag colors. Mike Explained that these flies are good in our area to match the smaller minnows that are preyed upon by panfish and bass in creeks and ponds especially this time of year. Thanks for all the good information MikeD.
Our next meeting will be the Christmas Party.
