Looking for a CCI

"Puck" Leave a comment

I work for the Wounded Warrior Project, am a disabled Veteran myself and I am inquiring on group pricing rates for an introductory class for 10 Warriors.

Could you please provide me with pricing? I work in the Houston area, have done some fly fishing and realize the therapeutic value of our Warriors being exposed to fly fishing. If this is as popular as I believe it will be then I would want to host it as a reoccurring event to be held once quarterly. Thank you for your time.

Respectfully,

John Kadleck

From Steve E.

“I spent this last weekend working at a fly fishing retreat put on by Reel Recovery and Project Healing Waters for vets with cancer near San Antonio.  I got to know some of the guys from the Alamo Fly Fishers club.  Great bunch of guys.  They have a fishing tournament that they are sponsoring down at Port Aransas on October 27.  We need to add it to our website  and promote it to our club for the saltwater fisherman looking for a late October outing.  I attached the link. http://www.lydiaannflymasters.com. I’m also ccing Nick Scarpinato.  He is the President of the Alamo Fly Fishers in case you want more info.

Cheers,

Steve”

"Puck" 1 Comment

Texas FlyFishers volunteers are needed to man the Bass Pro Shop Fishing Classic event this Saturday, February 20 at the Pearland and Katy stores. Casting and fly tying demonstrators are needed.

Please contact Dave Steffek (713-202-0101) (dst8ff8k@att.net) or Marcos Enriquez (832-671-2471)

Weekend Agenda

Pearland – Sat. Feb 20 (Kids Weekend of the Fishing Classic)

9 or 10 am to 6 pm outside the store. They anticipate setting up two tables outside for TFF information on one end and our outings/educations information and a station for a fly tier to tie wooly booger to demonstrate fly tying and give flies to parents of kids. They would also be excited if we could bring a couple of the demo rods with yarn fly line to demo casting to the kids or interested beginners.

The TFF tier has to bring vise and tools.

Katy Mills– Sat. Feb 20

9-10 am at the pond in front of the store providing casting lesson to anyone who shows up. Their instructor cannot be there that Saturday. It is not off-limits to talk about TFF, equipment they sell, or even lessons you or someone else does privately. The objective is to build relationship and let them know we can volunteer to help them.

 2-4 pm  One person from TFF tying flies at a small table inside the store (by the fly shop and entrance from the mall  )with some TFF brochures/Literature. The TFF tier has to bring vise and tools.
