Monterey Peninsula Flycasters December 2008 NEWSLETTER       President John Weber’s Message: I am now a bionic man with two new hips.  I was in the hospital during the November meeting and hear that the regulars showed up and had a good time talking story.  I spoke to Ed Kelleher about the Dec. 2 meeting.  He said he would like to hear from all of you what presentations you would like to have for our 2009 meetings.  It would help if you came to the Dec. 2 meeting and let us know.    Happy Thanksgiving.  John Weber       Meeting Location & Time: Tues. December 2nd 7 PM at the Carmel /Area Wastewater District: The Waste Water Management Facility is at 3945 Rio Road.   Directions: Coming down Highway 1, turn left onto Rio Road, proceed past the shopping centers and the post office. The building is about one half block past the Post office and Rancho Road. The driveway is on the left and the parking lot is in the rear.     The Program:   The program for the December meeting will consist of any available fishing reports, plus a discussion of programs the members would like to see in Calendar Year 2009. I have been trying to contact someone in DF&G who will admit that they might have a presenter/presentation available.  I have chatted with Richard Hughett, one of the members of the Monterey County Fish and Game Commission. He is willing to come talk to us about what they do, and answer questions, if there is sufficient interest. I am considering asking Robert Ketley to come talk about Fishing the Surf in March or April. He has written some articles for the California Fly Fisher about that, and a few of us heard an excellent presentation by him at the late lamented Ernie's Casting Pond. 

Other ideas are welcome and solicited. Ed Kelleher, VP       Bill Childress … the rest of the story & picture. Apologies by editor for over condensing the WHOLE story & picture.      Bill with fishing partner Peter. Peter took first place in total inches, Bill took second. They took first place as a team and tied for first in largest fish.     Other Planned programs:  Our budget is pretty much exhausted for the year, so we'll be 'on the cuff' for presenters. Ideas welcome. Tight lines, Ed Kelleher (we can always watch a fish Flick, Tom audio visual nerd)   FISH Tails & PICS:  Baum Lake from Bill Childress, with friend Harry.  More Baum Lake from Bill Childress, with Harry. More LOWER SAC PICS:  Happy Koney  More happy Koney  OUR RIVER QUEEN: Svelte Stacey with a chunky bow.  Tom, Chris Parsons, ace guide, & Ron have lunch on L. Sac  President John in front of Granzella’s, an oasis on the gastronomic Desert of I-5. Granzella’s is a favorite traditional spot for the club to stop at for a meal. A few years ago, it burned down (See below). The picture above is of the rebuilt site.    ======================================================================= Upcoming Fishing Trips & Dates: Pyramid Lake dates: March 26, 27, 28 Thurs, Fri. & Sat. fish 2 1/2 days. From Doug Leach: I believe all trailer spaces are taken but members can still go and stay in Reno or where ever and still fish with the club. I only have one trailer, which sleeps 5 people, so far, we have Leonard, myself and Tracy going, so we have two openings at this time. Anybody else who comes, would have to get rooms in Reno, because everything is booked at Pyramid during that time. We will leave very early Thursday morning, and be fishing Thursday pm. So you get two and a half days of fishing, come home on Sun. Anybody who wants to go, should call me, ASAP! Doug Leach <dmlfish@sbcglobal.net> 625-4421 Oct 2009 Lower Sac Trip: I just set up the fall trip on the Lower Sac.  The fishing dates are October 26th, 27th, and 28th.  I have held 7 guides and plan on a group of 14 flyfishers.  First come, first fish as always.  Deposits welcome if you want a space for sure.
