September 11th&12th, AFF Fly Fishing School |
 |
 |
|
The AFF Flyfishing School will be held on the Little Red River on the weekend of September 11 & 12. This two-day event will be conducted by Fox Statler and promises to be a great fishing outing as well as educational. Fox will instruct on the basis that successful experience is the best teacher. Participants will convene at 8:00am Saturday at the pavilion (by rip Collins creek) at JFK campground. The first morning will consist of lecture, demonstration and assistance on the basics (equipment, terminal tackle and set-up). After lunch break, the group will move to the river for the remainder of the school. There, they'll receive instruction, on a one-on-one basis, for casting, fly selection, reading the water, dead drift tactics for nymphs and midges and finally, fish-fighting techniques. After all, as fox likes to say, it's all fly fishing! Fees are 125.00 for members and 150.00 for non-members (invite a buddy if you want-he or she get a one year membership included) and are due by august 16 |

 Mark your calendar today for the 20th Annual AFF Fish Fry on September 20th; Murray Park, Pavilion #5 & 6. This year, Grandpa’s Catering will be supplying the feast of fried catfish and chicken tenders along with all the trimmings of cole slaw, hush puppies, fries, tomato relish, and baked beans. Dinner will be served starting at 6 pm. Make plans to arrive at the park early to browse the silent auction and raffle items and participate in the casting games. Tickets for the dinner are $15 for individual or $25 per couple. Kids 10 & under eat free. We’ll be having Casting Games of Distance and Accuracy, with awards for the most skillful fly rod handlers in the friendly competition. A rod will be provided for the competition as everyone competes with the same equipment. Other members will be around to help fine-tune your casting as well if you would like to bring your own fly rod. No meeting at the Whole Hog that night, just food, fun, and fish tails along the banks of the Arkansas River. You are encouraged to bring family and friends. Since the event is being held in September, we hope for cooler weather and have a great turnout. Bring your family and we’ll see you there! |
