At The Golden Gate Casting Ponds & Club House
Mar 2007
The Decathlon is the revival of a event that in years past provided our flyfishing clubs with an opportunity for convivial competition. Ten separate events will test the skills of flyfishers. Each participating club will send teams in novice, intermediate, and advanced classes. Judging will be done by volunteers from the three clubs. Awards will be given to individuals, for individual events, and to the highest scoring club.
Consult the PDF files at the bottom of this page for complete infomation.
Please sign up with your club's team leader as soon as possible.
