Here' a photo of a Mel Krieger casting clinic on the casting ponds in
Golden Gate Park. There's a flyfishers' club house adjacent to the
ponds. Great facility.

I was so impressed that on one of my west coast business trips, I
contacted
Mel and asked if he would spend a few hours with me at the casting
ponds in
Golden Gate Park. What a great guy. I paid for two hours of
instruction.
I met him at HIS HOUSE, he took me to lunch and HE PAID. We got to
the
casting ponds at 1 PM. At 7PM I had to leave for dinner. He was
still going
strong and would have stayed till midnight. I could not get him to
take any
additional money
Mel and Fannie Krieger are really wonderful folks. Linda and I had
the pleasure of staying one night at their house which is just off the
north edge of Golden Gate Park and within walking distance of the
Golden Gate Angling and Casting Club ponds. When Mel moved to San
Francisco, his choice of location for his residence was VERY
deliberate! *grin*
