Introduction to Fly Fishing Whidbey Island and Western Washington
On Tuesday, July 9, from 4:00 - 5:30 PM, WIFFC, in conjunction with the Coupeville Library, will give the public a simple introduction to some of the fish and fly fishing opportunities on Whidbey Island and Western Washington. Designed for novices and the fly fishing curious, this presentation will introduce you to everything you deed to get started. It will present the basics of fly fishing and the gear required, as well as locations and seasons to pursue this sport on Whidbey Island and around Puget Sound. It will also acquaint you with the concepts of conservation and ethical angling. This program is a wonderful way to learn about one of the many ways to enjoy the natural beauty right outside your front door.
If you or someone you know would like to attend, sign up on the Events page of the Sno-Isle Library's website.

Casting Fair May 4 at Ballinger Park
The Washington Chapter of Fly Fishers International is holding its annual Casting Fair on May 4 at Ballinger Park.
Here is a link to their announcement: Casting Fair 2024 – wscffi
While I've never been able to attend this event, those in the club who have say it is very well done and offers everyone the chance to get some one-on-one casting training from a certified instructor. Take advantage if you can.

The Fly Fishing Show is February 17-18
For any of you not way ahead of me, let me pass along a notice I just received: The Fly Fishing Show, the traveling extravaganza of all things fly fishing, is coming to Bellevue's Meydenbauer Center. February 17 and 18 are the dates. This isn't a free event, tickets must be purchased online or at the gate, but folks I've talked to say you really get your money's worth. Here's a link to their website.
Rather than go it alone, make contact with other club members and make it a group affair.

Turnout was great: about 30 people came to hear our presentation. Almost all had some fishing experience, and about half have at least tried fly fishing. Interest was high, and questions were to the point. A good time was had by all.
Perhaps six people from the class joined us to practice casting in the open field behind the library after the presentation. Everyone was appreciative to have the opportunity. The second casting session had fewer people overall, but included several people not at the first session. People seem to be taking advantage of the sessions as their schedules permit.
The next session is set for this Sunday at 9 AM--again, in the open field adjacent to the Coupeville Library. Anyone/everyone is welcome.
