All,
Talked to Denis who is down at PINS. South beach is closed at Malaquite due to heavy winds blowing the tide into the beach. Looks like the front has not blown through as hoped. Denis said the conditions are so bad he is heading home. Talked to Paul, too. We decided to call a no go and cancel the trip. Sorry.
Thanks

How to lead a Texas FlyFishers outing
Finding outing leaders has been an age old challenge for Texas FlyFishers. During a time when we were challenged in 2010, Treasurer Harry Crofton and Saltwater Outings Chair Chris Sumers put together a presentation that they presented at a monthly meeting. It’s well done, informative and worthy of a resurrection!
What do you need to know to lead a freshwater or saltwater outing?
Preparing for the outing
- Outings Chair has the plan for the outing
- Become familiar with the published plan
- Get a list of participants from the Chair
- Talk to previous leaders
- If a guide is involved: call and discuss outing and make sure you understand payment arrangements
- Confirm shuttle arrangements if required
- Confirm website notice has your contact info
- Get any last minute changes posted to website
- Print out extra copies of the blank waiver
- Get a copy of the club insurance accident report form
Outing Leader needed – POC1F
Whoever is taking over the Saltwater Outings Chair will need to find an outing leader for the Port O’Connor One-Fly in July as well as outing leaders for the remainder of the year.
