WE ARE LOOKING FOR NEW INPUT FROM OUR MEMBERS!!

We will still be sending a newsletter out this week but NO meeting next week. Enjoy your fourth of July. Be safe
A big thanks to all those who attended the stream clean up. It was a beautiful day, Donuts were good and we ran out of hot dogs at the BBQ.
Next year we are going to give prizes. Something like a garbage bingo. The Black Hills FlyFishers had the most volunteers. Close to 50 people helped clean Rapid Creek of all ages. Whole families attended and I even got my wife to show up.
It was an awesome event we will expand on next spring. Paul V only fell in twice. My wife got poison ivy and my youth mentee got hives and had to leave early to go find some Benadryl.
Send any stories or picks
