No Fishing and a TAF Update

No Fishing and a TAF Update

Thank you for reading this No Fishing and a TAF Update. I apologize for this pitiful fishing report. Between the wind, doctors, mechanics, the VA, yard work, and etcetera, I did not get out fishing this week. I did tie some beautiful flies while my car was being repaired. Got some more of that coming up, too, unfortunately- the repairs aren’t finished. I only got as much done as I could afford. The good news, The Assistance Fund got a bunch of donations!

I made this synthetic minnow at the car dealer while my car was being repaired.

We have raised $1,542.70 over 15 donations, 30 percent of my goal, and thank you, thank you, thank you again! Great job!

I also got a new member on my fundraising team, Mr. Dean Altenhofen. Thanks for helping out, Dean!

The fundraiser link if you’re motivated to donate (Please!)- https://giving.tafcares.org/-/NVCCHJED?member=SPEXUGER

As a reminder, the Assistance Fund helps underinsured people living with life-threatening, chronic, illness obtain treatment and medicine by providing financial assistance for their copayments, coinsurance, deductibles, and other health-related expenses.

The updates will continue every week until the fundraiser ends (at Thanksgiving), and of course if you’ve considered donating, it’s not too late!

I have every intention of fishing next week (although I can’t Monday because of a doctor appointment. How quickly the days slide away!)

Another car repair fly. Knocked out 22 while waiting. You know I want to get these things wet!

The Econ, at 9 feet on the gauge, is still way too high to fish. The lagoons might be good, though!

That’s the No Fishing and a TAF Update. Better reports will come, I promise.

Every day is a blessing. Don’t waste it- Go fishing! Go paddling! Go for a walk! Stay active!
