The Reel Hookers Club (Calgary)

[DarkAisling]

Anyone have any experience with this club?

Looks interesting, though the name caught me a little off guard.

I have talked to the ladies that run the club. They are a great bunch of gals. Their motive is to just find other ladies who have the same interest as they do. Fly fishing. The name they came up with is just a pun. They have a great sense of humor.

Their courses sure are nicely priced, as well as the other events/trips they do. Their annual membership is also really reasonable. They appear to have monthly workshops and meetings, so it might not only be informative, but a lot of fun. I'm just waiting to hear back from them about a couple of things. While the rod I've got coming isn't a traditional North American fly rod (it's a Tenkara rod), a lot of the principals will still apply.

I emailed them about the casting class they have this Tuesday (wanted to find out where it is before I signed up for it), and I haven't heard back yet. They may only read the email in the evenings.

I think you can only purchase a membership in January, but I'm not sure. $40 for the year (due in January) and it doesn't look like they prorate the fees. They've got some interesting things coming up in their schedule.

They say they have some members in Montana. You're closer to them than that :)

Certainly an eye-catcher, isn't it? :lol:

[FishFearMe]

I'm so getting my wife to join that club. God knows we can use the extra money and some fish would be nice too...

[DarkAisling]

Turns out you can join them anytime, not just in January. Jinx did some sleuthing and turned that info up :)

So, I decided I'd bite the bullet and become a member now, instead of in January. Membership gets a discount off of the casting cl*****, so it makes sense to become a member and then take the class.

They don't use the PayPal payment system. Their system won't take a PO box, and a PO box is what I use for all of my mail. I can't use a credit card to pay for the membership or the casting class as my credit card company has my PO box and not my street address, hence the verification is screwed up. :rolleye2: A bit of an annoyance, but apparently I can mail them a cheque (and have done so). This will delay when I can take the casting class, but only by a few days so it isn't that big a deal.

EDIT: Forgot you can't say "cl*****" or wear "gl*****." Interesting that you can take a "class" . . . I guess you're allowed to be an "ass"

Yes I know but sometimes ya just get tired of driving. One of the main problems with living in Rocky. Great fishing, great hunting, still redneck country but out of the way of everything.:lol:
Of course I do have a girlfriend in Calgary whom I could stay with if I wanted to come down:wave:

I think their trips are open to non-members. I'm not sure though. I'll let you know if that's the case.

The lady who runs the club (Anita) did send me an email . . . apologizing for taking so long to reply! It amazes me how email and the Internet have made everybody so impatient . . . a 24 hour turn around seems like a pretty quick reply time to me.

Yes please let me know, It might be worth the trip down. And yes we have become a " I want it now and instant gratification society " to bad as I can remember when it wasnt like that, snail mail and rotory dial phones, heck I can remember when there were two residences on one telephone line.:lol: Shut up Wayne:lol::lol::lol:

[DarkAisling]

Finally had the chance to meet Anita, the founder of the Reel Hookers. Truly awesome lady: very outgoing, super friendly, and a wealth of information. :) I know I'm going to learn a lot from her, and I'm pretty excited.

[Swansong]

I just went to the site and found a great deal of fun filled information. Maybe I will join you guys (oops! I mean Gals! ) at a future event. Keep me posted on your progress okay? I'm pretty tied up with work etc...over the next few months, but there is always next year to prepare for!

[DarkAisling]

Well, had my casting class with Anita tonight. Awesome lady, extremely knowledgeable, and a lot of fun :) She was also full of praise . . . only problem is I don't know if her praise is legitimate and I really am a "natural," or she was just telling me that to make me feel good :lol:
