I would like to invite our N. Texas and S. Oklahoma PB friends to attend a special event sponsored by Texas Parks and Wildlife and the Red River Fly Fishers Saturday June 19th at Eisenhower State Park on Lake Texoma.

The informal program will include casting lessons, fly tying, fly fishing classes, and youth programs.
Additional youth opportunities will be offered this year. The TP&W youth fly-fishing class will be offered and a catfish pond will be available to fish.

The youth program is of special interest to me to encourage youngsters to participate in outdoor activities. There will be special prizes for the kids and a very special young teenage Certified Casting Instructor in attendance.

The event and the entrance to the park are free. Fishing from within the park is also free.

Personal Note to my PB friends:
This will be my first trip away from home since surgery and hospitalization April 13th, with many bumps in the road due to surgery complications. I thought I was home free but emergency sent me back for surgery this week but I�ll make the Texoma event or bust a gut.

I have been AWOL on the forum about this stuff because I�m not into self-pity or complaining � but I�ve beat this cancer thing again so far � no cells detected.

Sure would like to see old PB friends and meet new ones if any can make the Texoma event.
I have been invited (commanded) to make a �guest� appearance �
