The ARIZONA FLYCASTERS CLUB (AFC) is a local, non-profit organization dedicated to the promotion, preservation and improvement of fly-fishing. The Club conducts classes in fly-casting, fly tying, rod building, net building and fishing tactics.

The Arizona Flycasters Club provides college scholarships and financial and logistical support to conservation and education projects. The club’s activities encourage sportsmanship, skill development and good citizenship.

The Club is affiliated with the Federation of Flyfishers (FFF), an international organization for fly fishers.

Monthly fishing outings to various local, state and regional destinations allow us to enjoy our wonderful natural resources with friendly people.

Monthly meetings, are open to the public, and include featured speakers and presentations on fly fishing topics.

Currently, our meetings are held at 7:00 PM the second Thursday of each month at Cortez High School, 8828 N. 31 Ave. in Phoenix (31st Ave. and Dunlap Ave.). You are invited to join us. Watch this website for future changes in our meeting location.

Over the Memorial Day Weekend!

The Hawley Lake Outing on Memorial Day weekend is coming up in a little over a month. If you are attending the Fish Fry on Saturday morning, bring your money and sign up for the outing. The cost of the outing is $65.00 for the first person and $20.00 for each additional family member. The fees cover the group camp ground rental, fishing permits and the steak dinner at the Saturday pot luck. If you are planning on attending the Hawley Lake outing, you need to sign up by the AFC Club meeting on May 8th. This is always a fun outing, so sign up early and beat the rush at the May meeting.

COME PREPARED!

Hawley Lake AFC Photo ID Contest

Memorial Day weekend:


Remember to bring an old photo of yourself, when you were younger than you are now, to our fabulous AFC Photo ID Contest Memorial Day weekend at Hawley Lake.

Here's how it works: photos must be stealthily delivered in an envelope with your name on it at the next general meeting, May 8th, or to the campsites of Marian, Juanita, or Marti by 12:00 P. M. Saturday, May 26th. You must be present to participate. All "G" rated photos will be assigned a number, the numbered pics will be displayed prior to the start of the potluck for participants to squint at and study. On a numbered sheet of paper, contestants must match the photos with the name of the club member. When the potluck is over, the names that match the numbers will be called, like bingo. The contestant with the most correct matches wins a prize.

If you ever wanted to be a pin-up, now's your chance! Fishing related photographs are preferable, but not required. If your pictures are priceless, please bring a photocopy for the contest, just in case they accidentally blow into the lake. See the AFC website and newsletter for more details or call Marian at 602 956-4345 if you have any questions. See you there!

Currently our General Meetings are being held at:

(8828 N. 31 Ave. - on Dunlap)
