Our next club meeting is Tuesday January 27, 2026 will be from 6-9 pm the Pit Room BBQ located at 10301-A Katy Fwy, Houston 77024 beside Fishing Tackle Unlimited. 6-7 pm social hour with meeting from 7-9 pm.

Have you felt sore after fly fishing (elbow, shoulder, back) or thought about what you should carry fly fishing in case you have an injury? If so, come hear our Laura Lee Mildon as she shares practical information on preventing injuries and what you need for your personal first aid.

Laura is an EMT, former RN, and French trained physiotherapist. She is originally from Reno, NV where she grew up racing motocross bikes. Laura is known as the “pitcher whisperer” for her work with NCAA and professional baseball pitchers. She is also an inventor with five patents pending and has served as the nutritionist for the boxer Manny Pacquio and rehab therapist for Cheick Kongo, MMA fighter, for a broken vertebra (he recovered in record time thanks to Laura). Check Cheick Kongo out on Youtube. She lives in Houston with her two daughters.

Laura will cover four subjects in her talk.

1. Shoulder, elbow, and wrist – how to build and maintain strength and flexibility in the three joints most used in fly casting
2. Balance – exercises for improving your balance when wading the water, or just walking
3. Common injuries while on the water – how to remove a hook, treat an eye injury, etc.
4. List of items needed for your personal on-the-water first aid kit (with Amazon links)

Laura will also bring handouts for your at-home review highlighting each of the exercises.
