OLD BUSINESS
Waynesville NC—Eighteen club members attended the Waynesville trip and reported that the fishing was great and that the weather was wonderful too! The fishing included both float trips on the Watauga and Holston Rivers in TN and wade fishing on streams in NC. Most folks stayed at the Waynesville Inn and Golf Resort which had recently changed ownership so the accommodations were not quite up to the usual standards the club has been accustomed to for our fall spousal trip. All of the restaurants the group patronized were great and overall everyone agreed that the trip was a nice event. Ann White, who floated a half day trip with husband Jim, landed the largest fish of the trip—a beautiful rainbow.
Dennis Falkenstein collected photos from various trip attendees and made a nice slide show of the trip which was presented at the meeting.
