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!

I hope this email finds everyone safe and enjoying some great fishing.
Since we are unable to have one of our regular meetings, we have decided to
Have a virtual meeting instead. Our own Jon Horn will be doing a presentation on
The Driftless fishing in Wisconsin. Jon has spent several summers traveling to the
streams of Wisconsin and will provide some great insight. As much as we would like to
Have a virtual social hour we will need to allow that for a future time.
The presentation will start about 7PM and we will be using Zoom to allow everyone to join.
How you do this is pretty straight forward.
You will need a PC, Smart Phone, Laptop, IPAD or MacBook.
Make sure your devices has sound capability and video if you want to let people see you when asking questions.
Erica will be moderating to allow people to ask questions as the presentation moves along.
