GENERAL MEETING!
WHEN: Wednesday, September 14, 2022
WHERE: Old Market Pub; Garden Home
WHAT TIME: 6:30 p.m.
WHAT to EXPECT: 
Rick Hafele - "Fly fishing Lakes"
Lakes fish to the beat of a different drum and this show will help you understand their rhythms. It covers the hatches, fly patterns, and tactics needed for success on lakes.
Rick started fly fishing over 50 years ago, 40 of which have been focused on fishing for trout in streams and lakes throughout the west. Starting when he was 12 years old in Illinois, Rick made the move west in 1969 where he has explored fishing in Washington and Oregon ever since. He has a masters degree in aquatic entomology with a minor in fisheries biology and has worked as an aquatic biologist in Oregon. For over 40 years, he has been able to watch and study fish and the insects they eat, both professionally and with a fly rod in my hand, throughout Oregon and many other states and provinces.
WHAT TO BRING: a few bucks for a beverage and dinner from the OMP menus; throw in a few raffle tickets and your best dinnertime conversation to share with others!
 
Don't forget - the general public is welcome to attend also - so bring a buddy, even if they are not a secret handshake member of TU....
