Oh don.t forget to enter the “Firehole Ranch trip for Two” Sweetstake.
This full-length vi
deo from Zach Matthews and his blog The Itinerant Angler, www.itinerantangler.com. The video will show you how to set up a fly reel (for trout) from the arbor knot on the reel all the way to the leader. Learn the Double Surgeon’s Loop, the Nail Knot, the Perfection Loop, and the Loop-to-Loop Knot, and how and where to use them to set your fly reel and line up from scratch. The video is 15 minutes long and is aimed at a new anglers or someone that never set up a fly reel. If you just need to see a certain knot go here. Zach Matthews was featured at Troutfest with his (One-on-one Casting Clinic).

August 23 Meeting is at
Monte Vista Baptist Church – 1735 Old Niles Ferry Road in Maryville, Tennessee (Map) at 7pm. This month’s Program: Knoxville resident Marc Payne will be speaking about his participation in the removal of lake trout from Yellowstone Lake. “Yellowstone Lake was home to the largest population of native Yellowstone cutthroat trout, yet this vast body of water has more recently become home to a sinister invader: lake trout. Lake trout are voracious and long lived predators that reach immense sizes.” We will also have a Swap Meet after the Program. If you was not able to purchase the Troutfest SIMMS Microfiber Short Bill Cap the good news we have a new supply in. The Bad news is this is all we will be able to get. Make sure to get you one or two at the meeting. We will also be selling our Troutfest T-shirts and other Simms Hats. There will also be a Board Meeting starting at 6 pm.
Hope to see you there.
