Joe!!
The Pennsylvania Fly Fishing Museum Association will be holding an Open House on Sunday, October 18th. The event will be held from 10AM to 2PM at the museum at 101 Shady Lane, Carlisle Pa. Everyone is invited.
Special guest Joe Humphreys is planning to attend our open house. We will have a limited number of Joe Humpherys coffee mugs available for purchase at the event. The mugs will have Joe’s signature drawing of a trout chasing a fly, and each mug has his autograph and is numbered.
Some of the activities include, touring the museum with Museum Board Members, and watching expert fly tying by Tom Baltz and Ken Okorn. Casting demo as well as individual casting assistance will be provided by Scott Loughner and Sara Deluca. Tom Smithwick will have an assortment of bamboo fly rods on hand to discuss and cast. Other rod makers will be on hand casting and discussing bamboo rod building.
The event is free and open to everyone. If you are not currently a museum member, you may join at the open house. You will receive a thank you gift of a box of 4 dozen flies with a new or renewed membership!
Plan to visit Carlisle, PA for the weekend, fish on local streams and take a break midday Saturday to visit the museum. By becoming a member and supporting the museum association, you will be providing valuable assistance in us reaching our goals by:
- Significantly expanding the displays throughout the Pennsylvania Fly Fishing Museum,
- Funding research for exhibits, oral histories and video projects, building a research library to discover and document more of the Pennsylvania fly fishing influence and history,
- And much, much more.
