Old Bag of Nails – Hilliard | October 8, 2024

Please join us at Old Bag of Nails in Hilliard as we welcome Dr. Andrew Pegman to share some general knowledge on fly fishing for walleye. Yes, you read that right, fly fishing for walleye! This should definitely be a topic you’ll want to learn more about.

This will be our first meeting at our “new” location, Old Bag of Nails in Hilliard. We will have a large, private room upstairs, and access to a limited food and drink menu. As always, we will start gathering at 6 pm to swap fish stories, and the presentation will start around 7 pm.

Here’s more on our speaker:

Dr. Andrew Pegman is a professor of English at Cuyahoga Community College in Ohio. His teaching and contributions in the classroom earned him the Distinguished Faculty Award from the American Association of Community Colleges. He’s been published in National Geographic , Field & Stream , Outdoor Life , TROUT , The Drake , American Angler , Kayak Angler , Paddling Magazine , In-Fisherman, The Plain Dealer , Ohio Outdoor News , the Ohio Cardinal and the House Wren (Cleveland Audubon), as well as for SUN Newspapers and Cleveland.com and others. A story he wrote for American Angler was recognized in The Best American Sports Writing 2020 as a “Notable Selection,” and the Outdoor Writers of Ohio Awards awarded him first place for Magazine Writing in 2020, among his other awards for magazine, internet and newspaper writing.

Good morning all,  

Just a heads up for February’s meeting, as COFF is always a proponent of domestic bliss, we were compelled to move February’s meeting off of our usual Tuesday date.  This year’s “normal” date would have been February 14th, instead, we will be meeting on Wednesday, February 15th.  Several factors involved, least of which is unusually large crowds on Valentine’s Day.  Jon Horn, purveyor of great speakers, has yet another lined up for us this coming month.

Will surely be another great meeting, I will send another reminder when the date draws near.  

Have a great day,
