Lakeside Pavilion at Homestead Park – Hilliard | May 13th, 2025
For our May 13th meeting, we will be hosting a picnic at Homestead Park in Hilliard. We will be providing food from Smoked Lick BBQ in Hilliard, as well as soda and water. Alcohol is prohibited within the park, so please be cognizant of park rules.
We have the Lakeside Pavilion shelter reserved from 5 to 9 pm, and the food is expected to be delivered around 5:45 pm. There is a pond next to the shelter, so please feel free to bring your fly rod for some pond fishing.
Despite rain in the forecast, we will be holding the picnic rain or shine. This is also our final monthly get together before we take a few months off for the summer, so we hope to see you there!
Old Bag of Nails – Hilliard | April 8, 2025
For our April meeting, Christian Price will be speaking on fly fishing for Smallmouth bass. Christian is the former president of the Land of Legends fly fishing group, and a self proclaimed expert of guide flies and streamer enthusiast. He plans to cover the basics of fly fishing for smallmouth, which should be great for those new to targeting the species, and of course, a good refresher for those already familiar. Timing could also not be better as smallmouth season is about to be in full swing!
As usual, we will start gathering at 6 pm with the presentation starting around 7 pm.
