Congratulations to Mike McCorkhill as he won Conervation Man of the Year at this years Southern Councils Awards Banquet. Great job Mike!!

Other news. At the January meeting, each member will receive two litter bags courtesy of the Fort Worth Fly Fishers. We are asking that each of us do our part, by picking up trash each time we go out into the field. Each outing we will go on, time will be allotted to help clean up the area we are enjoying. These bags are easy to haul around, lightweight, bio-degradeable, and will last for a long time. Please take two and use them each time you go out.

Thanks and remember, we can make a difference!!
