jjcanoe Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Everyone is welcome to attend the TRAA meeting this Wednesday April 8th at 8pm Grosvenor Lodge 1017 Western road in London. (between Oxford St. and Platt's Lane) Come and find out about the Giant Water Weenie (will we need a bigger BBQ?) that the canoe club is proposing to install and have the city pay for. Get the results of our electroshocking trips, learn how the Brown trout in the hatchery are doing, and the ETA of the Rainbow eggs and the possibility of getting Brook trout eggs this year, and find out the secret location of the TRAA spring trout derby. We have a guest speaker this month, IAN JAMES will be regaling (telling) us with some of his famous anecdotes (stories). Ian is a best selling Author 'Fumbling with a Fly Rod' a regular contributer to many outdoor magazines, a member of past Team Canada flyfishing teams, Founder of the forks of the Thames chapter of Trout Unlimited, a Flyfishing instructor at Fanshawe College, and lastly but by no means least a well known Flyfishing Guide. Don't miss out on this event! jjcanoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dot miss out on this event! jjcanoe Ian's a very entertaining guy. I met him one night while wading the Thames and didn't figure out who he was until later. Went away from the experience thinking the guy should write about fishing. Then when I went to his webpage I discovered he does. His book is excellent. It's out of print as far as I know (I tried to buy a copy after borrowing it from the Stratford library). I wish I'd known about this event earlier.

I just wanted to get a copy of my own to add to my fishing collection. It's just something I do with my various hobbies. JF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnF Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Yeah I kinda re-read your post after I posted D'OH! my bad! No problem. It was good of you to offer. I lend out a lot of my books and I know the return rate isn't as good as the lend rate. JF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
