1:00 PM - River Entomolgy study - see the real life river critters, in person,

Keep an eye on the Message Board thread - 2011 Festival for any last minute changes or additions!

<<<<< Having fun! Some of the bunch, I think, trying new technology to figure out what's in my Little Mo' Wooly blend!!!!
Looking to have several programs and all the fly tiers we can fit into the room once again! I'll be getting the word out as to exactly what we're going to be having as I find out and set a schedule soon!
In what has become a bit of a tradition Little Mo' Trout Biologist Christy Kitterman should be here to give us the latest reports and intentions of the AGFC as far as the fishery is concerned. Most enlightening, once again! Last year she had the results of the Creel Surveys and Tagging Study.
I can show ya'll the little slide program about the Skinny Water Project that I threw together! Maybe I can expound a bit more on what took place on those three days this summer and everything that went into that happening. We should have a better idea of just how much of an effect it has had by February too!
<<<<< Folks continue to brave the "Can You Take It" casting clinic on Sunday morning at Riverside!
