For all you fish and game smokers, I have finished my woodworking project and have several bags of Cherry wood shavings to give away. I will have the bags with me at the meeting so let me know if you can use some.

Hip Replacement and getting back out there!!
Francisco Garcia
I am a recovering complete hip replacement patient and have a question. On my eighth week of recovery and feeling great. Per my doctor, I am free to explore in my normal endeavors. Has anybody had a hip replacement and what did they do to get back out on the streams/creeks safely? Maybe an easy creek to walk through..? Thanks ahead!!
Enhanced Drivers License – Passport
Ray Spencer
My passport expired last year but fortunately I was able to cross into Canada last summer. One can renew their passport online. Its take nearly an hour and I suggest beforehand you get a passport photo at Staples. After May 7, 2025, you will need an enhanced drivers license or passport to fly commercially. Go online for details. Call 425-672-3406 as you will need an appointment. They are scheduled almost three weeks out.
Merry Christmas

Francisco Garcia
I Know fish like to go deep in lakes and are slower in the winter months, but where can a new guy enjoy fly fishing in the winter months. I don’t mind a drive for fun.

Great Program Next Week with 3RTU
Judy Harris
I wanted to extend an invitation to the Overlake Fly Fishing members because I know many of you are also members of the Three Rivers Chapter of Trout Unlimited. We have a great program this next Wednesday, May 17th at the Redmond VFW – You won’t want to miss this one! Join us and meet Dave McCoy, owner of Emerald Water Anglers in West Seattle, and Giancarlo Lawrence, @theblackstonefly, as they share stories about their efforts to build diversity and equity for fly fishing and outdoor spaces. We’ll watch Gian’s movie that screened at the Telluride Mountain Film Festival and see an episode of a new series he is working on. We’ll hear about podcasts, documentaries, and more that they both are developing.
There’s also a chance, if their parents give the go-ahead – lol!, that we’ll hear from a couple of my middle school students who took part in the OFFC Outreach with Tim, Jeff, Dick, Jim, and so many more as they visited my middle school classroom and introduced 30 very diverse students to the world of fly fishing!
This is going to be a good one. If you haven’t heard these two guys talk fishing, food, the world, well let’s just say you are missing out! And if you haven’t met any of my students, you’re definitely missing out! You know the venue – Redmond VFW. Come join us next Wednesday.
Dory Fishing
Judy Harris
Hi All,
Does anyone have any information on charters for dory fishing off the Washington and/or Oregon coast. The Pacific City Dory Fishing operation appears closed indefinitely according to their website. I’d like to find a dory charter operation that uses fly fishing gear rather than spinning gear. Any ideas, please reply.
Thanks much,
Judy
Go Fund Me For Joe Jarzynka
Joe coakley
A Go Fund Me has been set up for Joe Jarzynka who drowned while fishing the Sol duc River . He leaves behind a wife and two young daughters. Joe was my friend and a dedicated steelhead fisherman but also remembered as legend among Washington Huskies football players who never called a fair catch in 4 years of returning punt returns and kickoffs. His accident may have been preventable as he was using subpar gear and reportedly not wearing a life vest. He got caught under a log jam. RIP. PLEASE DONATE WHATEVER YOU CAN. https://www.gofundme.com/f/nofaircatches
