January Speaker: Steve Schalla: Fly Fishing the Sierra’s
Our speaker this month will be Steve Schalla. Steve is the creator of one of the best sites on the web devoted to Fly Fishing The Sierra (http://stevenojai.tripod.com/homepage.htm). Steve will be discussing the geological development and hydrology of the Sierra’s along with fish distributions, both native and introduced. Knowledge of these areas can greatly enhance your exploration of the various regions of the Sierra and improve your fly fishing. If you’ve restricted your Sierra visits to the Mammoth area, make sure to attend this meeting and find out all the other great places the Sierra has to offer.
Meeting is Thursday, January 26th at 7:00pm at the Long Beach Casting Club Clubhouse. More Info

FLY TYING LESSONS Continue Thru February 14th, 2012
Our annual fly tying classes are FREE and we encourage anyone interested in expanding their fly-fishing skill set to come learn how to tie your own flys! Our 16-week lessons are world famous, free, and are taught by some of the best fly tyers in the country. (There is a nominal fee for the manual – but hey, our print shop isn’t a volunteer). Class is ongoing and you can attend any or all classes. newsletter
Sunday morning casts come with breakfast
Every other Sunday at 8:00 am, one of the club’s celebrity chefs prepares a scrumptious, hearty breakfast that only fishermen can make. After breakfast are casting games! Sunday casting games are weekly until March, then we end the season with a special Sunday casting event. The next casts are January 15th and 29th. The cost is nominal (around $3-$4), and you won’t find a better deal or companions in Long Beach. newsletter
