Social Night

The CFFU Social Night offers a great way to connect with other club members, enjoy refreshments, and participate in an educational fishing presentation in a smaller gathering. Everyone welcome!
November 29- Topic: Winter Fishing
How do you stay warm when fishing in the winter? This social is a chance to share ideas for clothing options and equipment that will help us stay comfortable fishing during bad weather. We shouldn’t let the cold weather keep us off the water, but we don’t want to risk hypothermia either.  Bring your ideas or “show and tell” items. I’m especially curious to hear everyone’s suggestions for keeping your fingers warm!
We will also look at fishing opportunities during the winter months.

Socials are very informal. Half the time we generally spend socializing over great food and drink. Speaking of that, if you would like to bring food or drink (even adult beverages) to share it would be much appreciated. Remember to wear your name badge if you have one.
SOCIAL NIGHT
When: Generally held the last Wed., 6:30 p.m.
Location: Unless noted, meetings are  held at the Ranch Clubhouse, 150 East Ranch Road, Sacramento, CA 95825 MAP>
Contact: Laurie Banks
Directions: The East Ranch Clubhouse is part of a condominium complex. The address is150 East Ranch Road. It is located near Highway 50, off the Howe exit. The nearest cross streets are American River Drive and Munroe. East Ranch Road doesn’t have a street sign but a low stone monument in a flower bed. There are two entrances; the clubhouse is by the southern one. Power lines straddle this entrance providing a great landmark. As you turn on to East Ranch Road you will notice eight parking spots on the right hand side. (If these are full you can park on either side of the street). Directly in front of the parking spaces you will see the wrought iron fence surrounding the pool. The clubhouse is attached to the swimming pool.

About Social Nights

 PictureMembers enjoy a casual gathering at the Social Night.
Social Nights offer a great way to connect with other club members, enjoy refreshments, and participate in an educational fishing presentation in a smaller gathering.  Previous evenings have included fly tying lessons, entomology 101, fishing and catching techniques, rod rigging and knot tying, casting techniques, and more. We've learned about fishing lakes and rivers, toured local fly shops, and fished together.

Everyone is welcome. Think about attending if:
  • you are new to CFFU and want to meet new people,
  • you are a beginning fly fisher,
  • you are a woman, regardless of fly fishing skill level,
  • you are not a CFFU member, but are interested in fly fishing and the club,
  • you have nothing to do that night and want to socialize with other fly fishers,
  • the topic of the month is of interest to you. See Calendar.

HISTORY
The socials were started in 2013 as a way to bring together women fly fishers. It was so much fun, the women decided to meet monthly. Since the original meeting the concept has grown. Women brought husbands and boyfriends to the meetings. Soon additional club members who were interested in the monthly topic joined us. Although the makeup of the meetings has changed the purpose is the same. The socials are a nice way to meet and talk to other fly fishers in a small, relaxed environment.
