Tom Bartos, Founder, Horseshoe Bar PreserveNext Sunday (11/14/10)  is membership Appreciation day at the club. We will be BBQing a turkey, Ham and I will be smoking some salmon this week to snack on with a great glass of wine or cold beer. Please let us know if you will be coming and also how many you will bring with you. Families are welcome so don’t hesitate bring the wife and kids. This will be a fun event as I have invited Tenkara USA to come talk about how the Samurai fly fished in the 16th & 17th century. It is a very simplistic method of fly fishing and it draws one to getting closer to nature and peace. I could not think of a better place to experience Tenkara fishing than Horseshoe Bar Preserve.

I am also planning on having some demonstrations on gold panning and will have a load of dirt taken from the stream restoration area that I understand has quite a bit of gold in it. Any nuggets over ½ ounce found must be shared with me. Ha ha.

Truly this will be a fun event and a great time to hook up with other members. I will also be announcing next year’s event schedule. There will be some surprises and I will be looking for your interest in fishing trips outside the club. A few years back we took a trip to the Fall River together and had a great time staying at Circle Seven lodge. Henderson springs was also a great trip as well. If there is interest in doing this again I will work on setting it up.

Please respond ASAP so that we can plan for having enough food and refreshments.
