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
