Looks like ES1 now has Hoot Owl restrictions that came into effect July 26 and will, to the best of my knowledge, continue to August 8, 2023 Vince

Have a look at this video:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=w_ktNoGeWPU Watch the video to the end as there are links.

The link takes you to a very interesting and disturbing storey on what may happen to our beautiful lands down south. It's a long read but a worthwhile read. https://newsinteractives.cbc.ca/longform/bringing-coal-back Vince

Very cool video Ken...thanks Vince

Florin I'm good with Zoom and with Ken as the host of our meeting. I'm just getting used to Zoom as I'm sure others are and to make a switch for switching sake to me is not worthwhile. Having said that I'll go with the flow. Vince

Ken...as soon as you finish your Dolly Llamas I would be more than happy to test them for you. A good test procedure requires at least a dozen in various colors...what a nice guy I am eh. My tying for this year started a week ago and the first fly that was tyed was (of course) the CFF which is my go to fly. The second fly is a variation of the CFF which I call the Mutant CFF. Both are awesome patterns and when fished with my 3 weight bamboo from our good friend Don Andersen the catching is just so much better. I have a life time of awesome memories fishing those patterns....it fishes so well that I often have to take them off in order to give my good fishing buddy a chance to catch up. Stay safe and tye Vince

A thank you to Don for keeping us posted on this very important issue and for the background as detailed by Peter (via Don) on the history of Stauffer. Thanks to Michael for posting a PDF map link to the properties. Vince

The interview was excellent. The two of you did a first class job....thank you. Vince

This years auction was a first class event. Many thanks to all involved in making it an awesome night. Lots of members had a hand in making it a success and fun filled night and I'd like to say thank you to each and everyone that worked hard in making sure the event went smoothly. Job well done you guys. Vince

Ken An awesome video. Job well done. Vince

Way to go Paul....I'm very happy for you. Vince

Emmerson Congrats on winning the bamboo rod....what a way to start the year off eh. Vince

Dan Nice tye on the Hippie Stomper. Is the fly a good producer for you? I've heard a lot of good news on the pattern but have not tyed any up yet so I'm looking forward to your thoughts on the pattern. Vince

Peter Well done...thank you. Vince

A Very Merry Christmas to all...hope that Santa has brought you all that you wished for. Vince

Wow...hard to believe but a picture confirms it. Vince

Don Once again thank you for the up-date. Vince

Don Thanks for the up-date and please keep us posted...we appreciate it. Vince

Peter An awesome event for sure. Way too many people to thank on an iddividual basis so I'll just say a big THANK YOU to all that contributed in making this years auction a huge success. Vince

A huge thank you once again to Don for the bamboo rod donation. Looks like I may have to double up on the number of raffle tickets I purchase. Vince

Dan Unreal what some people will do. It's just not the price to replace the gas that was stolen it's the price of replacing the gas tank. Once again Dan I'm sorry to hear what happened and with some good luck it won't happen again. Vince

Don Thanks for the update...we appreciate it. Vince

Dan Sorry to hear your bad news. Might be a good idea to post where this happened so others can keep an eye out. Vince

Alex and Mike A real good presentation last night...I enjoyed it lots. Thanks for sharing your adventure with us. Vince

Peter Yesterday, I was made aware of the article in the Barrhead Leader along with a few comments from readers and found the comments to be rather disturbing. Good on the executive for sending the letter to the Minister and for not getting involved in the local debate. Vince
