The annual FFI picnic will be July 9th this year. As the club will be providing the usual burgers and hot dogs please RSVP as soon as possible to ensure we have enough food to make you happy, but not so much that Don has to store it until next year’s picnic. You can RSVP either by via e-mail or by commenting on this post. Please also let us know how many people will be coming with you.
We are asking that if you attend and your last name begins with A-M to please bring a side dish and last names beginning with N-Z please bring a dessert.
The picnic will begin at 6:00pm and will be held at 5300 Ridgeside Street in the Autumn Fair Subdivision in Meridian. Click here to view the location in Google Maps.
In addition to the picnic we will also be having our first club member gear swap. Please bring any items you wish to sell or swap. You are responsible for your own items, their pricing, and subsequent sale, so please mark items and bring them with you.

In today’s Teton Valley News is an article about a citizen petition to make a portion of the Teton River (from West Bates to Buxton Bridge) fly fishing only.
“A petition calling for a stretch of the Teton River to be designated fly-fishing only is circulating in the Valley. The idea is that the designation would stimulate the local economy, at least according to Rob Merrill who is behind the initiative. He says bait fishing and spin casting just aren’t as lucrative, economically and they cause harm to the fishery.”

Also please join us for our June meeting this Thursday (June 17) at 6:30pm in the Trophy Room of Idaho Fish & Game headquarters. This month we will be having our casting clinic with local casting instructor Michael Bantam of DreamCastIdaho.com as well and club members on hand to provide tips & technique.
Below are a couple of the pictures from the club’s most recent Fish-Out at Duck Valley. All the pictures that I have received so far can be viewed here.
As part of the Fish-Out part of the crew assisted in clearing new campsites and the director for Duck Valley rewarded the crew with some passes to Billy Shaw. Great work guys!
It sounds like the fishing was a bit slow, but the fish that were caught averaged around 18 inches. It looks like everyone had a great time and there was a great turn out with around 15 members making the trip.
As a reminder this Saturday, June 5, FFI will being the first of two road clean-ups this year as part of our Adopt-a-Highway project. We have adopted a two mile section of Highway 20 (mile marker 113 – 115).
If you would like to car pool or caravan to the location we will be departing from the Boise Stage Stop (I-84, Mayfield Exit #71) at precisely 9:00AM. Don Sherron has coordinated with the Highway Department and he will be bringing the trash bags & safety vests. If you can attend please bring the following:
Many of those who attend will also be fishing the South Fork after the clean-up, so please feel free to bring your fishing gear.
Please shoot us an e-mail if you have any questions.
We look forward to seeing you on Saturday.
