Fly Tying Classes are now in Progress

The First Fly tying class was held on January

14 at Fleming Hall, 21906 Woods Chapel

Road, Lees Summit, Mo. Classes are conduct-

ed each Monday evening from 7:00-9:00PM

for 6 weeks. Enjoy the fun with other club

members and non club members tying flies. If

you are a beginner wanting to learn how to tie

your own flies or a more advanced fly tier and

need help to tie a certain fly, come and join

us. MTFA will help you learn how to use all

the different tools of fly tying. For more information contact Merril Miller at:

merrilgofish@aol.com or call (816-673-9863)

We look forward to seeing you .

It’s a new year and much news to talk about. First of all we are trying something

new for the Lunker Dinner. If you didn’t read about it on the first page go back

and check it out.

The other big thing going on this month is the newly redesigned and current web-

site for MTFA in Kansas City www.mtfa-kansascity.org. Our Vice-president and

Troutline editor, Gary Davisson, commissioned Mike Sarno to provide the tech-

nical and design assistance to totally redesign our website. Mike has done an out-

standing service to MTFA. Gary has also provide up-to-date content so that

things like the club calendar for 2019 is online. This is still a work in progress

and there may be times when the site is temporarily down but if that happens, just

try it again a little later. Kudos to Mike and Gary.

This year the MTFA Spring Derby at Bennett Spring is May 18 & 19th. Our

chapter is the host organization for this event. We will be doing registrations Fri-

day night (May 17th) and Saturday morning. Registering tagged fish through-out

the event, providing a meal at the state-wide MTFA annual meeting Saturday

evening, awarding derby prizes and after the derby prizes have concluded,

conducting a raffle to benefit MTFA . I am asking as many of you who can, to

participate and fish in this derby. I am also asking for volunteers to help conduct

the events I’ve listed above.

I will be chairing the MTFA State council meeting on March 9th where the State

Board approves the events that take place.

Ingredients

2 1/2 pounds (1.1 kg) trout fillet, about one inch thick at the thickest portion

1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil

4 garlic cloves, minced

2 teaspoon brown sugar

1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Directions Preheat the grill to medium high heat, you want to be cooking at a temperature of 400-450 degrees F. Place the

trout fillet, skin side down, on a foil grilling pan. If you don’t have one you could also use a double layer of tin

foil. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic, brown sugar, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper.

Spread the mixture all over the trout fillet, coating the entire top of the fish. Place the foil pan on the grill and

close the lid. Grill the trout for 20-25 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork at the thickest portion.

Bennett Springs (Catch & Release Season) - MTFA Winter Club Outing Feb 9th.

We have a winter outing this weekend at Bennett Spring Feb 9th. The forecast

is sunny and 39 degrees and the fish are biting. If you are new to fly fishing

and need some help we will be there to help you. I’ll be serving hot Chili for

Members of Project Healing Waters are also going and will be traveling by cara-

van from the commuter parking lot at Hi-way 50 & 7. They will be leaving at 6
