It is time to dust off some of the equipment in our closet that has long since been replaced and pass it on to fellow members at the sale table we will have set up. For those who have been wondering how you can accumulate so much fly fishing gear, this is a great opportunity to make space in your closet for some new additions. For those new to the game, this is a great venue to upgrade some of your tackle or try out some new tackle at discounted prices. Be sure to bring some goodies along with you to sell at the meeting. The goal of our information tables is to provide one-on-one guidance on a variety of saltwater adventures. Todd Fleming will be hosting a table dedicated to sight casting the flats and kayak fishing. Bill Slough will be discussing night time adventures at the jetties and the surf. I will be covering tide charts and fishing maps. We are still working on a couple of other mystery tables that could be added to the list as we draw closer to the meeting. This will be an evening to come prepared with your questions on nearly anything related to fly fishing the salt. Do you need help selecting the best rod/reel set up? How about the best way to rig your tippets, leaders and flies. How can you bring all that you need without bringing everything you have? Where are the best places to fish? How can I make sense of a tide chart and how can they help me? Where can I find fish during the late shift? What is the best way to maintain, repair and store my gear? Our host of volunteers will be ready to discuss nearly anything else you can throw at them. This is a great place to find personalized advice and answers to the questions we have all asked at some stage of our learning. | ||

by Rob Burlingame, Alamo Fly Fishers VP Have you ever wondered what to do if you find yourself in an unfortunate situation while you are out on an adventurous fishing trip? How do you handle first aid in the field? What should you have with you just in case? Our August meeting will host Dave Heitzman, the Clinical Director for Baptist Medical Center’s Emergency Department. He will be discussing a range of aspects on what to do if first aid is needed while in the field. Dave has been in the medical field since graduating from U.T. Health Science Center here in San Antonio in 1993. During this time, he was a member of the Air Force and involved with a wide range of emergency related services, including his roles as an Emergency Nurse, Instructor Flight Nurse and Assistant Nurse Manager of an Emergency Department. In looking over Dave’s resume, he has experienced some very exciting and adventurous nursing roles, such as aeromedical missions in support of Operations Iraqi Freedom and Joint Forge and leading a medical team for a NASA recovery mission in Kazakhstan. His various roles have certainly provided him with hands on experience for nearly anything one could experience while exploring the outdoors. Personally, Dave is active as the Assistant Scout Master of Boy Scout Troop 145. He has presented similar topics to his troop to help them gain the knowledge needed to live up to their motto, “Be Prepared”. Clearly, Dave is well qualified to speak on the topic of field first aid and should be a great resource to help us all be more prepared if something does happen while we are in the field. Come to the presentation with your questions…this will be a great opportunity to have them answered by an expert in the field. Whether you are heading out later this month to chase redfish in the flats, catching the Hill Country action in full swing or heading some place more exotic, this is a presentation you will not want to miss. While none of us want to experience an emergency while we are out fishing, especially in a remote location, if something should happen, we would all want to be prepared. This presentation will surely give you a head start on what to bring and what to do if you ever find yourself or a friend in need. I look forward to seeing everyone there! | ||

To help us all avoid the frustrations of bad casts and poor set ups, we have invited one of our favorite Texas coast fly fishing guides, Captain Billy Trimble to be our host speaker for October. He has prepared a wonderful presentation full of “professional secrets” on how to rig up and cast for redfish. Capt. Billy Trimble has been an avid fly fisherman since he was introduced to the sport over 25 years ago. Since that time he has fly fished in eleven states and 4 countries. To say that Billy is an avid angler is an understatement. Before he began guiding professionally, he averaged over 100 days a year on the water catching everything from Redfish and Black Drum to Red Ear and Black Bass, along with more exotic species like Cutthroat to Chum Salmon. Capt. Trimble specializes in guiding clients on his Hell's Bay flats boat, sight casting to Redfish, Speckled Trout and Black Drum. He is a gifted fly tier, designing practical, successful patterns for his guiding business and for a few fly shops. Just recently, a couple of Capt. Billy Trimble’s flies have been picked up for commercial production, including probably his most famous, the “Blind Chicken”. Capt. Billy Trimble is the owner of Trimble Fly Fishing, a professional guiding service for fly fishers of all experience levels. Check out his photos and stories at www.trimbleflyfishing.com. Capt. Billy’s patience and exceptional knowledge make for a pleasant and informative day of fishing, regardless of your skill level. He is based out of the Aransas Pass area. Billy guides clients on the coast for most of the years in the bays between Rockport and Corpus Christi. | ||

Bill is currently the VP of Fisheries for GRTU and has chased many of the species offered by the Guadalupe River for over 16 years. After his retirement from Dell Computers in 2000, he moved to the banks of the Guadalupe River and began a guide service. This has put Bill on these waters almost daily for the past decade. Needless to say, his knowledge of the river and the fish it holds is exceptional. This is easily noted by his appearance in a number of national magazines and television shows over the past several years. This is definitely a meeting you will not want to miss, especially if you want to get a head start on the trout fishing season just getting underway. Join us on Tuesday November 18th for a great presentation to better prepare you for success on your next outing to one of the area’s greatest rivers. | ||
