Happy New Year!
It’s time to renew memberships for 2018! We have many exciting things happening in COFF this coming year with local outings, regular tyings, trips –both near and far, and education events to accompany a monthly slate of speakers/meetings. We hope you will join us –and invite your friends in 2018! Membership is still just $25 -cash or check greatly preferred.
Our January 9th speaker is an absolute river smallmouth nut – Steve Coomer! Steve is a native of SW Ohio, who has spent decades fine tuning techniques for fishing rivers –focusing especially on smallmouth. If you fish river smallies in Ohio, Steve is a foremost resource. He’ll focus his talk on fine tuning your fly selection based on the rivers and river sections you fish.
