CASTING, CATCHING AND CATERED TOO! II

FROG HOLLOW (map)

Selected By: Rene J. Hesse

This event was a great success last year, check out the photos from last year;

http://www.meetup.com/AtlantaFlyFishing/pho...

What we can do this year is get there between 9 and 9:30am to meet each other, gear up and take a few pictures. 

Then from10-10:45 or so, we will do a little casting course to warm up. Kind of like putt-putt for fly fishing.  It is not a contest (until someone says, 'I'll bet ya I can....') it is just a way to get loose, have some fun and get the mind in to the game If you want to get some pointers we can touch on them.

THEN ---WE FISH ON THE FROG HOLLOW TROPHY TROUT STREAM. (see my profile picture for one of the trout caught there last year).  There are 5 sections, or 'beats' and there will be 2 people per beat. We will fish for an hour in each section.

We will be breaking for lunch at @1pm.

We are working on the menu at this point the options so far are...

Fried Chicken Buffet: Breast, Legs, Thighs, Wings
offered with turnip greens, cole slaw, potato salad, and biscuits. (Put some south in your mouth)
or
Smoked trout salad or chicken salad sandwiches on sourdough,offered with broccoli salad, and potato chips.

We don't have the connection with the wine growers this year so unless someone can get a sponsor we will not be providing wine.  Feel free to bring your own.

We will fish after lunch until  @4pm.

There were several folks that missed it last year that wanted to attend, so I hope everyone can make it this year.

Kenny is very kind to grant us permission- Thank you Kenny.

You will want to have your own gear but if someone needs some equipment, between Kenny and I we can get you hooked up.  Just let us know.

Watch for my post on how to get the farm...Do not use GPS.

Ron and Amy will not make it this year....They are having a Baby!

    Directions! You can use the map attached to the above 'Frog Hollow' address but this is the easy read on it... Go north on 400 and it turns in to Long Branch Road. (Just keep going on 400 until the road ends in to a 'T'). Then turn LEFT at the 'T' and go about 1 mile and turn RIGHT on Town Creek Church Rd. (look for a stack of GREEN SIGNS) then go about 3miles and look for a flag pole in a guys yard on the right and TURN RIGHT on Roy Grindle Rd. then 2miles to Frog Hollow, go right to the end

    The event is still a go and unless there is an unsafe water condition or lightning we will plan on fishing. Watch for a post on Saturday night if we are going to have to cancel. I suggest bringing 2 rain coats one for morning and one for afternoon. Watch for emails if it looks bad.

    I'm crashing it bitches !!!!! I've been out of the loop, literally for too long and I just saw the notice of the event this morning at 4:30 am... couldn't sleep, girlfriend is in town. I didn't pay and will not eat or fish but I want to say hi to everyone and maybe shoot some pictures. I will have to leave right after lunch to go to my son's allstar basketball game.

    See you there.

    Die hard fly fishers. I know you are because there was not one complaint about the weather. In fact when I was willing to cancel the casting workshop so folks would be able to go right out and fish....Everyone wanted to do the casting tasks! That made me feel good. It was good to meet members that I hadn't fished with and see old members too. Thank you Kenny and Steven for putting this together, the food was great and the stream and fish in excellent condition. Thank you all for being such great sports- How lucky I feel to be with so many nice people. I'll post a group picture soon.
