An opportunity to practice fly casting, get some casting instruction and share a light meal and social time with fellow club members will be provided prior to the club’s monthly meetings for the months of April, May, June and September 2024.

The casting venue will be an open green lawn located toward the left side (when facing the church from Wirt Road) of the Terrace United Methodist Church, 1203 Wirt Road, Houston, Texas 77055 https://www.terraceumc.org. Parking may be available on the same side as the casting lawn or on the opposite side of the church facing the entrance to the church and church school, which is located to the right side of the property, when facing the property from Wirt road.

The casting lawn will be available for pre-monthly meeting casting for the above months beginning at 4:15 pm and will end at approximately 5:45 pm, so as to allow time for participants to travel the short distance to the Trini Mendenhal Community Center (1414 Wirt Road, Houston, Texas) for the club’s monthly meeting, which will formally start at 6:00 pm.

A few club rods, equipped with yarn practice flies will be available at the casting site; although, participants are welcomed to bring their personal casting equipment. If personal casting equipment is used, yarn will be provided for use in place of actual flies. In that regard, participants are asked not to practice casting with any hooks, flies or other sharp objects. Also, it is requested that all participants look out for their own safety along with that of others who may be in the area. Eye protection, a hat and maintaining a safe distance from others is encouraged while at or near the venue casting area. Additionally, the church has requested no pets be on the property (other than service animals) and that we remember to pick up whatever, paper products and other items we may bring onto the casting lawn.

Sandwiches and drinks will be available at the casting lawn so bring your chair along with your fly fishing spirit and come on out to mingle with your fellow club members, enjoy some social time and get in a little casting practice and instruction as you prepare to roll into a few of the remaining monthly meetings for 2024.
