Dear Fellow Fly Fishers,

Welcome to May and the onset of good spring fishing. refer to our fishing report for details, but spring is a great time for tarpon and many flats species.

I will be at Andros South in the Bahamas fishing with Frank Rhodes and Rick Grassett the first week of May. We hade a great trip last year and look forward to good bonefish action this year.

Thanks to our April guest speaker, Woody Gore, who provided many great tips on places and tactics. Also, thanks to Pat Damico for tying another great pattern for us (see og. 7).

Be sure to attend our May meeting to hear Rick Redd discuss best ways, locations and flies to use for catching tarpon in our area. Also, plan to attend the Casting & Fishing clinic on May 10 at Picnic Island, featuring Steve Parker with another excellent tutorial.

Please check within the newsletter for additional club information. Finally, we welcome input from you on outings, events, speakers, etc and please join us for a board meeting for a nice meal and discussion.

Take care and tight lines. //Walt
