The July meeting will be casting in the yard folowed by a swap and shop in the meeting room. Join your fellow members casting on the lawn. Its a good opportunity to ask some of our more experienced casters to help solve some casting problem you may have, or demonstrate the qualities of a new rod that you may have acquired.

He has been fly fishing the beloved Cumberland Valley streams since boyhood. Once Mike got his PA drivers licenses it was "game on". Days out of school would be spent on the many great spring creeks in the area. Mike was blessed to have been able to learn the art of fly fishing on some of the hardest and most famous spring creeks in the country. He has been doing so for over thirty years. Mike is a graduate of Penn State where he acquired a degree in Forestry.
Mike Heck is the author of, "Spring Creek Strategies" and also helped with, "Tying Dry Flies". He also had articles published in Fly Fisherman, American Angler and Fish and Fly Magazine. Mike has appeared in the TV show, "Road Trip USA", a Discovery channel show that aired across Europe.
Now of days, Mike operates an Orvis Endorsed professional guide service for the Falling Springs, Letort, Yellow Breeches and many other South Central PA trout streams. Mike is an innovative fly tyer with several patterns credited to his name.
