'FISH-IN 2001' PHOTOS, 8

By Deanna Lee Birkholm, Publisher FAOL

Caroline Knecht (Peachie) was the "official" photographer for the Fish-In 2001, and did a great job! Here are more from her, these are some of the programs that were offered, you'll fine other photos of these on the other photo pages, but we are trying to show things you haven't already seen.

Bob Mead, (Mantis) did a terrific demonstration on tying realistic flies. Here are a few more from that evening.

Dick Jogodnik gave a belated program (without the slides he so carefully prepared) due to a mix-up on dates. He'll be back next year with the slides!

Dick has a great sense of humor, and for those who were there (sorry if you missed it) this is the reaction to the story about the new man in the fly department of Herrods.
Just one new one on this program, Ron Kusse took a group for a working tour of his cane rod shop. Peachie got a nice shot of some of the folks who went.

Ron Kusse also did a program on the care and feeding of cane rods. We have other photos of most of that, but here are a few interesting photos from that as well. The first one shows Ron discussing the finer points of a rod with, left to right, Bob Petit from the GlobalFlyFisher who spent 'Cane Day' with us, next to him, Bob Mead, and to his right, Robert Venerri.

More of Saturday's sanctioned casting competition - it was very well attended, and those who chose to watch learned a lot about what makes a winning cast. The front loop had to be a 'wedge' and big open loops didn't make it into the winner's circle.

Fishstick didn't win, but he was the most improved caster!
