| | Fishout Schedule 2006 |
|---|
| what: |
The (always evolving) fishout web page has been updated to reflect the 2006
trips in the pipeline. You can check it out by clicking this link (2006
Fishouts). |
| else: |
The club welcomes new ideas about where to wet
a line. Even better, why not volunteer to lead a fishout. It's not
very hard and a great way to meet lots of PFF'ers.
(Some help: Fishmaster tips are in your annual
roster and on our website.)

Although the winter fly fishing shows are over (and all I have is
a new 10 weight rod as a souvenir), the local fly shops are starting

line-up of celebrities. Bill Kiene's shop in Sacramento is one of the
standouts every year. (Other worthy fly shop open houses include the San
Jose Fly Shop, the Orvis Palo Alto Shop, and the Western Sport Shop.
We will post these as they become available.)
