THE
REEL THING
November 94
This
will be a rather brief, but important, issue of the club bulletin.
A
special thanks to those members who make every effort to attend our weekly
meetings! It is sad to have to say that a number of our former
'regulars' haven't seemed to have been able to find a couple of hours on
Wednesday evenings to come out to the gym with the rest of us to swap stories,
tie flies, do a little casting and plan future trips and 'stuff'.
Hopefully that will soon change and attendance will pick up again
before too long.
The
club trip to the Saugeen went well with Rick Matusiak taking a few lovely
rainbows. John and Sheila were true conservationists however and didn't
keep any, while I managed to fool a lovely fresh-run steelie with a tiny piece
of sponge. Rick caught his 'bows
on minnows, of all things! The
meals were delicious and featured a sea food stir-fry loaded with wild
mushrooms that we picked near Collingwood on the way up to the cottage.
I
guess that by now everybody in the club knows that Rick Matusiak caught a
brown trout weighing almost 35 pounds. it
has been confirmed that it is a new Canadian record and a world record for 8
pound line. Congratulations,
Rick. If there is anybody who
hasn't seen Rick's videa, 'Jump' yet, give me a call.
It's fabulous.
Scott
Purcell and old buddie, Jim Lee, gave Beanpole a going over, but had to settle
for pork and beans for supper
