​Dan Groshon Outing

For all of you who didn't attend the outing at Dan Groshons a little of what you missed was Mac MacDonald entertaining with guitar and a lot of members catching bass.  As you can see a number of members did attend and had a great time. This doesn't even count Dan's hospitality including Hamburgers cooked on the grill.  Better luck next time.

​Members, please let us know who or what you would like at the next couple of meetings. Contact the club at:

[email protected]


Fly casting help will be available at the pond at the next meeting with Steve Mogul and Joe Beaulieu being available to help.
​Free Raffles
Also, the club will be having free raffles of books, fly rods, reels tying equipment and all you have to do is come to a meeting and get a raffle ticket.  Then you will have a chance to win the raffle item
What do you want?
If you have something that you would like to see the club do, please let us know.  If it is some type of class or speakers or 'something else.
Well, here is your chance to get involved.  We are looking for someone to step up and get speakers for the meetings.  It is really easier than you would think let the President know if you are interested in helping the club out.
