Social NightThe 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!
Social for May 27th- Reading Water When: Wednesday, May 27th, 6:30-8:30 pm Where: East Ranch Clubhouse Fishermen have a saying that 10% of the water holds 90% of the fish. Regardless of the percentage, trout need certain things to survive. By understanding these needs, we can pinpoint where trout are hiding in small streams and rivers. At the May social we will discuss how to dissect a stream to find where trout may be holding. That way you don’t have to waste time fishing in a fishless spot and can move on to a more productive area. I can remember being a new fly fisher and learning to read the water, but I still had so many questions. Should I stand on the bank or in the water? How do I present my fly? Should I cast upstream or downstream? How do mending and the dead drift fit into my presentation? Socials are informal gatherings where any attendee can participate. Half the time we 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. Don’t hesitate to call or e-mail me if you have any questions. Hope to see you at the social! Social for June 24th - Tenkara Fishing Additional information will be posted early next month Laurie Banks ([email protected] ) (916) 709-1309 Wear your name tags if you have one. It’s a good way for our new members to connect our names with faces. Laurie Banks (916) 709-1309 Socials are very informal. Half the time we generally spend socializing over great food and drink.

About Social Nights
|
 Members 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:
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. |
