FRC 2010 Dues & Update

Good Afternoon FRC Members and Guests,

Everyone should have received an email from me last week regarding the 2010 Season for the FRC. Thank you to those members both new & old who have sent in their 2010 dues already. If you haven't please remit your dues as soon as possible.

I have fished the pond twice: once in late February and once in mid March - both days were spectacular with the day in March producing 51 fish for myself and two guests (and I didn't fish that hard). With the mild winter the Pond is in mid-season form already, unfortunately so are the weeds. More on weeds later.

Had an email report that the pond fished well yesterday (3/23) with drys targeting cruisers and risers from both a float tube and shore.

Remember to fill out the fishing reports after you are done so that we can help to make this a better fishery.

Will be organizing a work party soon to remove Weeds mechanically, in addition Drs. Tom & Rob Merrill will be leading in a Scout Party to help take care of several projects including re-floating and re-anchoring the raft that is high sided on the SE side of the Pond.

To that end we are going to be investing in weed removal tools shortly, with mechanical weed removal it is a all hands on deck type operation and I will try to make it a fun event for all. Perhaps a BBQ at the pond?

Back to Braces on My Patient's faces...

Tight Lines Everyone and Rip Some Lips,
Randy :-)

Ninety minutes on the water yesterday afternoon for seven nice rainbows. Water temp 46 degrees. Purple egg sucking leech, 6mm peach colored bead pegged with a toothpick 1-inch above hook, and prince nymph were successful. Wind came up strong the last half hour I was there (5:30-6:00)
