Club cofounder Ted Knott who passed away this past year has been memorialized at the Catskill Fly Fishing Center and Museum for his contributions to rod building and the sport of fly fishing. Click here to see a full-sized picture of Ted and read the dedication.

The last meeting of 2005 featured the presentation of t

he Becker-Knott awards for 2003-2004 and 2004-2005. The awards went to Kevin Hudson (left) and Ron Marini (right) for their tremendous efforts for the Club. Club president Bruce Wainman is next to Kevin. The award was presented by Harold Becker standing next to Ron.

A Memorial Service was held for Ted Knott was held on April 16th at St. Johns Anglican Church in Ancaster.

It was a both sad and uplifting to go to the memorial for Ted Knott. There was a huge turnout and a great sendoff for a remarkable man. Ted will certainly be missed by us all.

Another successful outing for HAFFT for our annual Mooneye Madness. I personally have never seen so many members out. I lost count at 23 because I couldn't see far enough upriver to notice Bill Christmas fishing by the island at the west end of Seneca Park. Well done to one and all.

I noted your mentoring and chatting with one of our young protégés, Ian downriver from my location. Over the course of the evening you managed to make your way upstream to trade quips with various members in true Presidential fashion. You managed to put down the rises on half the river as you sloshed from position to position, but I didn't hear any complaints when a few of us retired to Hortons in Caledonia to do a post event review.

The best catch I heard of was from Kevin Hudson who managed to fool a dozen mooneye with his patterns.

Not being a dry fly purist like some of the more erudite members of the club, I fished an emerger and managed to trick 8 mooneye over the course of the evening. From the chatter and banter I felt everyone had a thoroughly enjoyable time, whether or not they were catching.

The weather gods were smiling on the membership with a cool, pleasant, sunny evening, with the river running at less than 40 cms. And the hatches were prolific and I am sure some of us with larger mouths had to keep them tightly lipped or risk sucking in a dancing caddis or a hatching size 14 Light Cahill.

Thanks to one and all for making the effort at making the 2006 Mooneye Madness one of the highlights of our club year. The night couldn't have been any better. See you all and more next year.

rue to tradition our club was represented at the Dunnville Kids' Fishing Derby held on the Grand River on Saturday, July 9, 2005. Despite news earlier in the year that the event was cancelled, you notified us in the late spring that the event was back on and we were invited to teach kids how to tie flies. Although many members advised that they couldn't attend due to work commitments or vacations, Henri Lemieux, Robin Bennett and myself were there on behalf of the club.

Unlike previous years where we saw sustained activity as soon as the vices were affixed to the picnic table, this year action was sporadic from 7:45 am until about 11. And then the proverbial flood gates opened with kids lining up for their chance at the vice. The three of us didn't have a single minute of rest until the last child left the picnic table at 1:30. Then it was off to the restaurant for a richly deserved cholesterol-laden lunch.

The kids were a pleasure to work with and they sure gave us a chuckle with the "oohs" and "ahhs" as a brightly-coloured hackle was wound around a hook shank. If there was a downside, it is when kids are left-handed and we have to reverse techniques to accommodate them. Believe it or not I got three left-handed kids in a row!

Robin is a patient instructor while Henri's kids, as one would expect, turned out perfect woolly buggers under his watchful eye. And the Dunnville newspaper was there taking pictures and getting names, meaning the event has real community significance so it was so nice to be able to lend a hand.

We all agreed that it was a fun, rewarding and tiring day.

Bruce, believe it or not after the tremendous downpour which pummelled downtown Hamilton around 3:30 on Monday, we still managed to get in a very decent evening of fishing for mooneyes.

The mooneye were rising by the time we finished gearing up and having our social chats. Occasional rises, nothing consistent. Since I am entomologically challenged, what I think I saw popping out of the surface were size 14 Light Cahills or Pale Evening Duns, you get my drift-a pale yellow mayfly with cream wings. Also we were cursed with flea-like blue winged olives that seemed to love to nestle within the hairs of my arms.

After changing a number of flies, I went with Harold's suggestion and tied on a size 16 Peacock and Brown and promptly caught two fish. Their bite did a number on the frail peacock herl so I tied on a BWO emerger and caught a couple more over the next hour, but couldn't buy a strike after 8:30 PM.

We got off the water at 9:15 and repaired to Hortons to argue, tell stories and lots of lies.

It was a good evening of companionship, laughs and fishing. And the best part was that it was totally unexpected as we thought the river would be a chocolate milkshake, but it was still at a fishable level and only stained.

See everyone next year. And thanks to Harold for his suggestion, it certainly made my night a fun time.
