  Janet and Darlene,
  I do plan to join the Damsel Flies as soon as Richard and I move to Eugene this summer. I love to fly fish. I am not particularly good at it, but I never tire of trying.

  Could the President of Damsel Flies contact me about an event I am proposing which could result in a financial contribution to the club?

  Hey! Do you have gal pals, sisters, mothers, or nieces in Colorado or a nearby state? The non profit I work for, The Women’s Wilderness Institute, offers some awesome all-female fly fishing clinics and overnighters for women and girls age 8 and up. We also have courses for backpacking, rock climbing, mountain biking & much more. Just thought I’d share the news!

  I belonged to the Damsel flies starting in 1977 or 78 when I lived in Eugene. Coming back this summer to visit and take a trip down the McKenzie.

  Have always wanted to fly fish, but don’t know how to start. I grew up on the Puget Sound fishing, but have never fly fished.

  Hello, I’m hoping to learn more about your recent Casting for Recovery fundraiser, and pick the brains of the Damsel Flies in regards to fly fishing, and a good way to get involved.

  Thank you

  We meet the first Thursday of every month at the Caddis Fly Shop. 6:00 pm. A small very informal group. Please come in and meet us. We are not a direct sponsor of the Casting for RecoveryProgram , but some of our members are very involved. Janet
