Fishing the San Juan With Mike Adams

Local fishing guide Mike Adams will share his knowledge and experience in fishing the famous San Juan River at the November meeting.
Mike, and his wife Vicki, are members of the Board of Directors for the Overmountain Chapter.
According to Bob Sherrill's atlas, the San Juan flows out of Colorado, into New Mexico and then Utah. To find out what part Mike will talk about, you'll have to come to the meeting at the House of Ribs at 7 p.m.

TVA's monitoring Explained by Kerr

If you've ever wondered what factors TVA uses in its systematic water release or generating functions, you missed a great chance to find out if you missed our October meeting.
  TVA's Randall Kerr explained how TVA monitors water in its reservoirs, tracks rainfall amounts and determines where and when to release water and/or generate.
 Thanks, Randall, and come back to see us soon.

 Fishing Reports

Nothing beats fishing with a good friend

(The following is an account of a recent fishing trip by Bill Beazell)

I have fished with Sam Benedict for 35 years, and it's always the highlight of any day. In May Sam suffered a stroke, and his major question was "Can I fish again?"
            Recently Sam, his wife Alice ( who is 94). and I drove to the upper peninsula of Michigan for another try for a King Salmon. Our headquarters was the Benedicts' son's home on Lake Michigan's Little Bay de Noc, near Escanaba, a major papermaking city.
The Upper Peninsula was ablaze with color, and we saw deer and turkey everywhere. For the first time I saw a bobcat and her kit, and two immature, all-black bald eagles.
            The trip was an interesting and great experience, and there were three highlights:
¨ the family reunion of four generations.
¨ Sam's 93rd birthday.
¨ Sam hooking,(but losing) a big King Salmon.

            Ask Sam for the rest of the story.
