Dear Flyfishers,
Welcome to August and the dog days of summer. Hope you are able to get out and fish despite the hot weather.

We had a great outing at John Millns cabin and lake in North Tampa. Blue skies, clear water and little wind made for good conditions to pursue John's local bass and blue gills. Jeff Janecek was top rod with thirty some fish and
we all enjoyed a sandwich lunch on John's dock. Thanks to John for hosting and to Bob Gaulin for bringing our lunch.

Thanks also to John, his daughter and associate for our skin screening at the last meeting. Please be mindful of harmful sun exposure and take the necessary precautions.

I will miss the next meeting as eight of us are off to Alaska on a float trip to pursue salmon, trout and greyling. Check the newsletter for other items of interest and will see you in September with an update on Alaska.

Tight lines.....//Walt
