Hello everyone! I hope everyone had an enjoyable and safe thanksgiving. With the colder weather upon us, I’m sure people are beginning to think about some cold water fishing. With that in mind, we have ask Mike Durkalec, Aquatic Biologist for the Cleveland Metroparks, to give us a presentation on Dec 8^th at 7PM. Mike is a well known expert on the fisheries in the Metroparks and will be doing a presentation on the Steelhead fishing in the Cleveland Metroparks. As many of you know the silvers are back in the rivers for fall and early winter fishing. This will be a presentation you will not want to miss!

Hope to see everyone next Tuesday, Dec 8th at 7PM!

Hello everyone, I hope your fishing has been productive. The bass have been very active lately  along with most of the warm water fish. 

As you may know, COFF normally has  a  September meeting at the smokehouse brewing Co, but with the ongoing pandemic that is not possible

This year. However, we do have a great Fall lineup for everyone to enjoy. Next Tuesday (Sept 8^th) at 7PM we will be having a great presenter 

Via a Zoom meeting. Our guest will be Jen Riipple, Editor-in-Chief of Dun Magazine will join us next Tuesday for a virtual meeting sharing her expertise targeting Smallmouth Bass on the Fly.

In October we will be having  Curtis P. Wagner,  Fisheries Management Supervisor, Ohio Department of Natural Resources as a guest doing a Zoom Presentation on Ohio Brook Trout.

In November we will Lance Egan, of Orem, Utah, a member of the USA Fly Fishing Team and well known euro nymphing expert talk about Euro Nymphing.

Also this fall we are working on a socially distanced casting outing. As the plans for this event become clearer we will post something on Facebook and our website. 

As a reminder to everyone about Dues, last January we decided to better coordinate our dues with our first regular meeting in September of 2021.  No dues 

For exiting members will be collected until 2021.

Hopefully before that time we’ll all be able to meet again at the Barley Smokehouse, but in the interim please try and get out fishing with a member. We are working on  setting up something on Facebook 

That will allow people to find someone to fish with. 

WE WILL POST THE ZOOM LINK ON FACEBOOK AND THE WEBSITE AS SOON AS IT IS AVAILABLE. I’LL ALSO EMAIL THE LINK TO EVERYONE AS SOON AS I GET IT. 

I hope to see everyone next Tuesday!
