SUMMARY:April Speaker Meeting - Peter Albertson
DESCRIPTION:THERE WILL BE NO ZOOM TONIGHT AS THE ZOOM TEAM IS ON VACATION \n“My first fly fishing adventure was at the access ramp on the main stream at the County Road 489 bridge.   The water was fast\, deep\, and the fish were rising on the far bank of the river.  After I was chest deep and losing my footing while being gently swayed down stream and I still not being close to cast that last 30’\, well\, that set my goal to be able to cast and set the strongest desire to learn how.  I am still learning- I just can’t put what I can’t remember into my cast- but it is better than that first day at the bridge…I think???”\nStay Safe\,\nPeter Albertson \n  \n\n*MFFC business meeting starts at 7:30 p.m. EST\, learn about upcoming events\, volunteer opportunities\, hear fishing reports\, and general Club information. The speaker will take the floor around 8:00 p.m. EST.* \n\n  \n

SUMMARY:March Speaker Meeting - Bob Long
DESCRIPTION:Bob Long will be presenting 90% of the fish are in 10% of the water. \nI go fishing to catch fish. The tug is\, indeed\, my drug.  And I take people fishing to catch fish. \nI’ve been fishing since age 5\, fly fishing since age 12. I started getting decent at it around age 35. Then I suffered a setback when I started believing\, “Hey\, I’m pretty good at this.” Took 10 years to dig my way out of that emotional and mental hole. \nDuring the 90s to early 2000s\, I wrote for most of the existing fly fishing and fishing mags\, newsletters and newspapers\, and gave seminars at fly fishing and fishing shows\, and in Fly Fishing shops. Pleasant enough. By 2010 I switched to mainly conducting On-The-Water fly fishing workshops. \nBeginning in 1999 I spent 20 years taking people fishing; kids (8-12)\, teens\, adults\, seniors\, and People with Disabilities of all kinds (teaching and mentoring\, not guiding). This was through a May – September program I created and ran with the City of Chicago called\, Mayor Daley’s Fish’N Kids. \nThat was supremely and deeply rewarding and affected how I viewed my fishing and teaching. I ceased to be an experienced fishing adult and became a kid goin’ fishin’ again. \nI gladly share what I’ve learned over time with those who may have an interest; shared as considerations only\, not doctrine. As I learned early on\, “Sharing\, with love and compassion\, is what we are supposed to do in this Life. \n\n*MFFC business meeting starts at 7:30 p.m. EST\, learn about upcoming events\, volunteer opportunities\, hear fishing reports\, and general Club information. The speaker will take the floor around 8:00 p.m. EST.* \n\nCan’t make it in-person? Get a front row seat to the tying demonstration by joining us via Zoom. \nMFFC Meeting Zoom Link:\nhttps://zoom.us/j/94894893998?pwd=TGYrWnJyd0dCelVxbXdYU1lVVmd5dz09 \nMeeting ID: 948 9489 3998\nPasscode: Jvq0q6

SUMMARY:March Activities Meeting - Scott Freeburg Featured Tyer
DESCRIPTION:Join us for activities night! After the brief meeting\, casting will be available (with or without instruction) in the Casting Training & Education Center in the gym\, Ken Harfoot will be leading beginning tying\, and Scott Freeburg will be our Featured Tyer on Zoom. \n\nThis Parachute fly was introduced to me by guide friend Chuck Scribner last year at hex hatch time. We ran into each other at a breakfast spot when I was heading home and of course talked about recent fishing adventures. \nHe had bought a bunch from Gate’s and was using them to imitate Isonychia’s on the Au Sable. And of course\, having great success too. \nHe was kind enough to give me one and encouraged me to tie some.  So I saved it for later when I could try and copy it at my tying desk. \nI didn’t get a chance to trout fish again until August but by then I had tied a bunch to test out. \nIso hatches start in late June and continue through August. The hatches are an evening thing so visibility and floatation are important. This thing worked as described and again I’m so thankful to Chuck for sharing it with me. \nOh yeah and one last thing. When I was up there\, I went to Gate’s to buy some more of the originals. Had to ask for help finding them because they evidently don’t keep them out on display and they only had very few and only in one size. Draw your own conclusions….. \n  \nPurple Patriot Parachute \nHook: Size 10 1x fine dry fly \nThread: 8/0 Uni Purple \nWing: Hi-Vis light gray \nTail: Medium Dun hackle fibers \nAbdomen: 3 sections: Opal tinsel\, purple thread\, opal tinsel \nParachute Hackle: Medium Dun \nThorax: Purple thread \nClick here to download a printable version of the pattern. \n  \nClick here to join via Zoom.

SUMMARY:September Speaker Meeting - Niall McCarthy
DESCRIPTION:MFFC welcomes back Niall McCarthy\, he last presented in December of 2020 when we were all at home Zooming our meetings.\n\nNiall first learned to fly fish on the Au Sable River with his dad when he was 10 years old. His dad spent his time untangling Niall’s tangles\, while Niall thrashed the water with something that resembled a cast. During that trip they got lost on the South Branch\, caught a few fish\, watched an intoxicated canoeist jump off the Stephan bridge\, and most importantly\, Niall was imprinted with the joy of fly fishing. \n\nBetween that trip and now\, Niall has fished from the Kispiox River to the flats of the Bahamas and many places in between. His favorite way to fish is to swing flies for Steelhead in Michigan\, and he never passes up an opportunity to fish for carp in the crystal clear waters of Grand Traverse Bay. Watching Smallmouth demolish divers and poppers is the ultimate way for Niall to spend his summer days. When he really wants to be humbled\, he’ll throw gigantic Musky flies until his arm falls off. The Hendricks hatch on the Au Sable in May is always memorable.\n\nAfter spending four years learning the fly fishing business from the ground up\, Niall felt confident to run his own shop but better in every way…cue Motor City Anglers\, founded in 2019. Niall is proud to have given countless anglers instruction for single hand casting and spey casting. These anglers  range from total greenhorns to some pretty good casters. Niall is delighted every time he watches an angler’s casting progress.\n\n\nYou can find Niall at our upcoming speaker meeting or visit him at Motor City Angers Fly Shop.
