  13. Once again, another OUTSTANDING Naca. Thanks to all who contributed.
  14. Just got my NACA in the mail today. A BIG thank you to both Dean Brookes and Iain Sorrell for all their hard work and effort in putting this together. The history of our organization spelled out in these articles truly defines who we are and what we stand for. And, the pin was a nice touch and a keepsake for all our members. Great job.
  15. Well deserved and congrats, Barry. I appreciate all you do for this organization.
  16. Sounds like a plan to me. That would basically expand our popular Big 4 event to 3 tournaments which I think is a good thing!
  17. Iain, thanks for a great job and all the work you have done. See you by the bank.
  18. I see a compromise here. How about running this for 2 months.....Oct./Nov. in the fall and May/June in the spring. The problem we have in the northeast is nasty weather in Dec. and nasty weather in early April. In some years, parts of both months are not fishable.
  19. The Spring Big 4 is one of our signature tournaments. If we were going to make big changes (as we did in 2018) on how things were going to run as well as the outcome (winners and prizes), it should have been addressed beforehand on this Forum with the members. The BOD should have also discussed these changes and approved/disapporoved of them before the Spring Big 4 was held.
  20. I also did not like the regional aspect of this tournament. That tends to work when you have equal number of entrants from each zone. If you look at the list of entrants at least half were from the northeast zone. Some zones had almost no one. So, no question, the NE guys were at a big disadvantage. I agree with Dave on this point. And only one winner from each zone. Come on man. The BOD discussed this several years back when numbers were way down in the tournament, and we decided to up the number of winners to get more participation. That was the policy we adopted. At the time we decided to award the top ten finishers and this happened several years in a row. I assumed this would happen again this year. And, we had no idea of the number of winners or the prizes until after the tournament was over. This should have been all set up and explained beforehand just like what is done in the FFF. I'm sure this will affect how many enter the Fall Big 4 unless it changes. By the way, I do think this is all a good idea to get input from members as to what they think about how things run. Sometimes, we, as the BOD tend to act on our own as was done here and maybe it is not what the members want. I, too, would like to see input on this from all who entered so we can better serve you next time.
  21. I'm guessing your pics should have been reduced as you suggested. This has been a problem in the past. Reducing to 640 wide should work. Noticed most of the photos downloaded to the leaderboard did not work. Maybe this should have been explained ahead of time.....
  22. Thanks to all who attended this year's very successful NECC. And, a big shout out to our President, Iain, for putting this whole thing together! Here are some of the photos of the event.
  23. I don't know if anyone has checked the stream flow data for the CT River but as of right now, I don't think you will be able to fish it since the river is flowing about three times the normal for fishing. The problem is that there is a TREMENDOUS amout of snow in the mountains. It is melting and sending a torrent of water downstream. Water flows in that location are just about unfishable in the month of April due to high water, fast flows and lots of debris. If you are planning a fish-in I would have a back-up location in a pond or lake just in case the river is not fishable.
  24. Just sent my message. Never easy.....good luck.
