Monthly meeting Guest Speaker, Ed Fast; tying your own jigs
Our guest speaker for our May meeting will
be Ed Fast. Ed is a member of our chapter and is a local guide who
spends most of his time guiding on the the Sandy River. Ed plans on
show us how to tie up inexpensive jigs for steelhead and salmon. He has
tricks up his sleeves to show us how to save money by building your
own, and do with material that you may have in your fishing vest or on
your fly tying vise. If you have a portable fly tying vise, the chapter
sure could use your help by having you bring it to the meeting. The
chapter will supply all the materials for making the jigs for this
event. If you have any tricks or secrets that you would like to share
at this event, please come and share your info and knowledge. Ed
mentioned that if you can’t make the meeting, you still want
to learn how to tie jigs. You can go to youtube and type in tying jigs
and it will give you a list of video's to watch. If you want to
learn how to fish jigs properly, and learn how to read water.
You can buy one of the best jig fishing video's around. This
was created by Mark Anderson of First bite jig who is a sponsor in
our news letter. If you’re looking for a good time and want
to fish your jig for steelhead you should talk with Ed about booking a
trip in some prime jig water.

Thanks to all the great folks that showed up
for the Sandy River Parks Cleanup on Saturday April 12. We had about 20
members present, many of which started the morning with a great
breakfast, compliments of the Sandy Chapter, at the Tippy Canoe
riverside restaurant of Shirley Welton. One of us cleaned up the
parking lot and river front of the restaurant and the rest moved on to
Dabney Park and Glen Otto Park where many bags of trash were stacked.
The break in the weather was really enjoyed where temperatures reached
up into the 60's.
There were so many folks that showed up I'm not sure of the total head
count but here are the names I have on my list. Sorry if I missed
anyone. Thanks to: Jeff Kirkman, Colonel and Judy Thomas, Doug
Briggs, Joy Gannett, Howand Anderson, Hal Blenn, Steve Ackley, Roger
Beal, Howand and Judy Berg, Ed Fast, Art Noyes, Mike Baker, Leslie
Hinea, Jack Glass, and yours truly Larry Beaver, River Clean-up Chairman
