Saturday, October 17 Outing
This is the Carl Hanson Outing in memory of the Lord of the Flies who died in 1998. Carl was a valued member of Suncoast Fly Fishers AND Tampa Bay Fly Fishing Club so, of course, this annual outing is a competition.
Usually we fish the Hillsborough River for the longest bass and the most bluegill. But this year we’re fishing the salt. So…the fly fisher who catches the longest fish of any species will get to keep the framed artwork of Carl Hanson for one year.
Fish anywhere around Fort DeSoto Park—bay, gulf, or backcountry — and meet up at 11:30 at Pavilion Three for a social distancing lunch. SFF will set out sandwiches and cold drinks on the table. Or, bring your own lunch.
Use the hand-sanitizer. If you’re not eating, then wear your mask. And, observe social distancing. Your 9-foot fly rod is a good social distancing measure. Take pictures and post them on our club’s Facebook. site….facebook.com/scff2020
The club awards $10 gift certificates to Bill Jackson’s Shop for Adventure to the member with the longest fish. Measure your longest fish and email photo to Bob Burkhard.
