[cool][#0000ff]Had our first meeting at the Eagles' Lodge in Murray (UT) last night. Had a good turnout (about 15) in spite of some vacations and graduation things that kept a few members away. Had a good variety of goodies on the tables and some of it left with new owners. That's the idea.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Discussions indicated that members would like the idea of having at least "mini" swaps at meetings on a regular basis. Maybe making that the first half hour or so every other month. A good way to share what you no longer need with others who are looking for your items...at good prices.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Also talked about setting up a sub-board on the Float Tubing board for Buy, Sell & Trade. We have members all over the country who might like to participate to "download" tubes, waders, fins or other goodies popular with tubers and tooners. Whaddayathink?[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Finished the meeting last night talking about some of the Utah waters and what the best prospects are for good fishing over the next month. Also talked about having a "floatilla" and fish fry at Starvation sometime this summer. If enough folks wanna play we can reserve an on the water campsite at Rabbit Gulch and hit it on a Saturday...for the benefit of those who can't fish during the middle of the week like some of us oldsters can.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Just a note in advance, TubeBabe and I will be in California during the last week of July so we will have to miss that meeting. But I'm sure that LeeC and the rest of the folks can do without us.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Have a great June. Should be one of the best fishing months this year.[/#0000ff]
