WILD ATOM B EARN PROVINCIAL BRONZE

Selected participants will be given a FREE in-office demonstration and the opportunity to evaluate the latest, most advanced hearing aid technology for 30 days. This latest digital technology solves the biggest challenge for hearing aid wearers – hearing well in noisy environments. Nobody will notice it because of its minute size, fitting snugly and comfortably just behind the ear. Everything works automatically, so you can get back to enjoying your relationships, rather than thinking about your hearing. Following your 30 day Field Test, these hearing aids will be available for purchase, including everything you need for 3 full years.

The Woolwich Wild Atom B team took home the bronze in the OWHA provincial championships, held Apr. 7-9 in Toronto. Back row: Brad Talbot, Amy Forwell, Brian Straus, Jen Catton, Chris McMillian, Eric Schwindt. Middle: Sara Forwell, Claire Jacklin, Tiana Bender, Ella Hicks, Cara MacPherson. Front row: Olivia Straus, Claire Catton, Charlotte McMillian, Brienne Brezynskie, Avery Grundy, Kayla Sargent, Carrie Schwindt, Makenna Kroetsch. Some team members got the victory tour through Elmira on the weekend in the antique Elmira fire truck. [SUBMITTED]

fly tying right?” she asked. “Yes,” I said. “Don’t worry. Frenchie nymphs are a great subsurface fly.” “Honestly, I was more worried about the green shrimp,” she said. “It’s your turn to cook dinner.” Of course, things could always get worse – I still remember when Jenn and I were starting out and I told a friend about my favourite woolly bugger. The point I’m trying to make is that you can get yourself in trouble if the wrong people overhear fly tying conversations. The biggest problem is when you have a really good pattern that has been catching you lots of fish and suddenly your buddy, who normally outfishes you, starts begging for the recipe. That’s when most

fly tyers get a little creative. It’s also when you’ll hear questions that no one else in the world has ever heard. Questions like: “So I really need the eyelashes from a recently road killed skunk?” And, if you can reply with a straight face, you’ll say, “Yes but it has to be a female skunk, otherwise that fly won’t fish right.” The sad part is, the very next week at the river, you’ll see that same guy fishing alone – mostly because he somehow found the material you told him to get. But also because he doesn’t want anyone to know about the secret pattern he is using – although, trust me, if you are downwind, you’ll know. This is why you need someone you can trust to exchange fly tying recipes

with. Not just anyone will do, either. The person has to be generous with their hard-earned knowledge, smart about selecting useful patterns and willing to share information that may one day help you outfish him or her badly. John is excellent that way on all counts. The interesting thing about him is he doesn’t tie flies during winter like the rest of us. Instead, he waits till the good weather arrives and then he gathers his materials from the garage. Then on the first windy day, he takes them and his vise outside and does his tying on a picnic table away from everyone. He says it keeps peace in the house. One day I’ll tell him that he can substitute craft hair for that road killed skunk.
