This newsletter, named “Fish Tales”, is my idea and creation. It is published

monthly for the benefit and enjoyment of the members of the LEC of FFI. Any er-

rors in spelling, grammar or usage of words, may or may not be intentional. The

subjects and content of such, are as accurate and complete as needed to get the sub-

ject matter across. Any corrections, complaints, additions or submissions are wel-

comed at any time, as long as they are sent to me. I hope you enjoy our “Fish Tales”.

Editor’s Comments

May was one crazy month. The weather was terrible. But like

always, God will flip a switch and warm dry weather will be

here. Better late than never. Member Gary Bacon, is inviting

members to join him fishing almost every Thursday to

various spots that are his favorites. He gladly shares flies and

fishing tips that will help every level of experience that you

may be. Every time I go with him I learn something new, and

catch fish. Even if no fish were caught it is always a great

time with good friends. I do have to say that so far this year I

am finely catching fish. It could be Gary's tips, that new TFO

rod I won at the Christmas party, or maybe it’s my year.

Dream Catchers will be the test.

See you on the water. Rich
