Monthly Meeting
Our next monthly meeting will be on Monday June 11th at 5:30pm. We will be meeting at Saluda Shoals park for our annual cookout and casting demo. There will be no cost to enter the park, but we do ask for a $5 donation to cover the cost of renting the shelter and the cost of food. We also encourage anyone with old Fly Fishing gear, material, publications, or whatever to bring for possible swapping opportunities. This promises to be a lot of fun and I hope you will have a chance to join us. Please RSVP to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
A special Thanks to our presenters thus far for 2012. Mac Brown, John Gray, Bob Bailey, Ken Kinard, Johnny Butler, and Curt Elliott have all done an excellent job and we are lucky to have them as members.
Also, a special thanks to the University of South Carolina for allowing us to meet at their facilities. If anyone knows a student that might be interested, please invite them to one of our monthly meetings.
Fly South Open House!

Don’t cut the yard yet, come to the Fly South OPEN HOUSE on Silver Lake. Come take advantage of the 40% close out prices on Scott Rods including the hot small stream fiberglass rods and the A3 series; try them on the lake.
We are pleased to be selling St. Croix rods. St. Croix is one of the premier names in fly rods. The painstaking craftsmanship is revered among knowledgeable fly fishermen. Each rod and blank comes with a great warranty for repair or replacement, for the original or later owner, regardless of cause. I really like the number of models offered at a reasonable price. Our Open House Special on St. Croix is 10% off any rod and a free gift of a zinger or a hat with any St. Croix rod other than the Rio Santos.

Urgent Notice!
Unfortunately, our private parking space at River's Edge is no longer safe. One of our members had all of the gear in his vehicle stolen while out fishing. Please remember to lock all of your doors and do not leave any valuable belongings out in the open. We have notified the Homeowners Association of the matter and we will do all that we can to resolve this situation. Thanks in advance for your cooperation.
