A Place To Rest

A Place To Rest - Photos By Seymour & Krause
Saturday, May 14, about 15 of us gathered at French Creek to pay our
respects to Jack Mickievicz and his family. Jack was the founding president
of the Dame Juliana League. He was much more to his friends. A bench
in remembrance of Jack has been placed by us on a magic bend in the
creek. For those who would like to know a little more about Jack please
take the time to read his obituary and a couple of short pieces; one
by Jack and one written about him:

Summer/Fall Newsletter
Posted on September 2, 2021
We're pleased to be sending you the Summer/Fall issue of STREAMSIDE. We have a little something for everyone in this one.
Leading off we have Zach Anderson, a top-notch guide I met at Cross Current Guides & Outfitters on the Delaware. He gives
a primer on two-fly rigs: dry droppers, two drys, nymph tandems and two streamer rigs. It should improve your stream tactics.
Did you suspect we have a bonafide artist at DJL? Tim King will share his passion for turning trout into amazing watercolors.
Many of us have revered memories of time on the water with our dads. Jeff Davis remembers times with his Dad on the
mighty Penns.
Our favorite lawman, Bob Bonney, is back with an engrossing article about his guardianship of two wild eagles. The pictures
alone will knock you out!
Local fly tying master, Jim Clark, gives us a step-by-step recipe for a killer nymph. Even I catch fish with this pattern!
And last, but certainly not least, Tim Murphy shares the fascinating work a bunch of New Yorkers pursue for the perpetuation
of native brook trout.
Enjoy, My Friends!

Spring/Summer Newsletter
Posted on June 1, 2021
We're pleased to share our spring/summer issue of STREAMSIDE, the newsletter of the Dame Juliana League.
This issue is full of articles that, when administered at the correct dose, should help get you through the month when Dame Juliana Leagues is not meeting in person.
Try to work in a few fishing dates between articles. This quarterly issue includes articles about spotted lantern flies; cicada (and how to make those flies);
the Little Juniata; a U.S. combat Marine that found a way to emotional balance; a woman whose mother's death led her deeper into nature's signs of love;
and finally, a pictorial on our annual Learn to Fly Fish Day. Please pass along your STREAMSIDE cyber issue to invite friends who may not belong to Dame Juliana League, to join!
Thanks

Stream Clean-Up 2020
Posted on November 9, 2020
DJL Annual French Creek Stream Clean-Up 2020 On November 2 and 3, 2020, Dame Juliana League did their annual clean-up of French Creek. People involved were Margaret Barnes, Emerson Cannon, Dave Capone, Mike Ferraro, Skip Kraus, Joe King, Dennis Miller, Matt Seymour and Eric Tschantre. Members volunteered to walk the banks and pick up trash in the middle of the day. We then take it to a recycling or trash area. This is a great activity to help out local landowners and assure them that we care! Thanks DJLers for volunteering time and muscle to do this always worthwhile activity! Dame Juliana Fly Fishers always like to do what we can for the community!
Painting Donation
Posted on November 22, 2019
Two years ago, one of our members, Lois Barnes, an accomplished artist, donated two paintings she had done to Dame Juliana League for use as a fundraiser for the club.
The subjects of the paintings were French Creek looking upstream and downstream. Lois knows the subject well as she lives on the creek on Sheeder Mill Rd.
We on the board wanted to properly honor this gift from Lois and we felt that donating these paintings to both East and West Vincent Townships,
through which French Creek flows would be the best way to do so. Accordingly, on 13 November, Emerson accompanied Lois to the East Vincent Township board meeting where Emerson was thanked and Lois was honored.
Thanks, Lois!
