Nov 2, 2010 Program

How about a tour of the best fly fishing places in the United States? Would you like to make the tour in one night? You can! Join Billings resident Jack Ballard and the Magic City Fly Fishers on Tuesday, November 2nd at 7:00 p.m. for "Fly Fishing: An American Portfolio," a photo essay of the best places Jack Ballard has fished in the past couple of years, from Adirondack Park in upstate New York, to southern Colorado, the Midwest, and of course, the Northern Rockies. Plus, you have a chance to win prizes in Jack’s new trivia contest. You will have a chance to identify specific bodies of water as you proceed through Jack’s presentation. You receive points for identifying the state, body of water, and the species of fish. Those with the top scores win prizes. Sounds like fun to me.

Just so you are familiar with Jack (who also presented a couple of years ago), you should know he is one the most prolific outdoor writers in the nation. Over 40 outdoor magazines have published Jack’s photos and articles. Some of these include Petersen’s Hunting and Successful Hunter magazines, a column for Montana Sporting Journal and Camping Life. Check out one of his articles here: http://www.montanasportingjournal.com/pdfs/MayJune09-Digital.pdf

He is the author of two books: "Elk Hunting Montana" and "Creating a Traditional Elk Camp," both endorsed by the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation. Jack’s writing and photography have won numerous awards from the Outdoor Writers Association of America.

Our program power point presentations are now available on an online storage site. Programs will be uploaded and available for download as soon as possible following the meeting. File sizes can be large, so it may take a few minutes to download, depending on your connection. Please remember to sign off as soon as you’re done, since it will only allow one person on at a time.
