News you can follow

For three years, we had trouble with our web site. I wanted to have news going out through the blogspot. Due to personal commitments I didn't do a good job.

I am happy to report under the new leadership of Peter Nilsen and Board Member Martin Custodio, a Facebook account Rhody Fly Rodders has been established. Also these two guys have gotten the web site fixed. So go to these two sites for Rhody Fly Rodders.

Thanks for following the blogspot, being phase out.

Wayside Inn celebrates Fly Fishing

Please circulate this message

2012-2013 season underway.

Well it has been a tough long season for me. Had surgery on my foot/ankle in April. Been away from salt water, doing a lot of fresh water bass fishing. I'm hoping to put waders on and do some striper/hickory shad fishing.

Rhody Fly Rodders will start the season off with a meeting October 16 Tuesday, at Riverside Sportsman Club in East Providence, RI with a cook out at 6 pm. You are invited please let me know if you are coming if not a member.
