The complete 2012 Outings schedule is listed below.
February Outing: Dead Horse Ranch State Park
Friday, February 10 — Sunday, February 12
The February 2012 outing will be at Dead Horse Ranch State Park in Cottonwood. The outing will be from Friday, February 10th through Sunday the 12th.
The group campground has been reserved for the weekend, and the cost of camping
will be $30.00 for the weekend. The camping fees will be collected by the Camp Host
(Phil Wagner). If you are going to be camping, you need to stop at the main gate and
let them know that you are with the AFC group. They will give you the vehicle tag and
direct you to the group campground. If you are coming up just for the day, there is a
day use fee of $7.00 per car.
This is payable at the main gate upon your arrival.
There will be a pot luck on Saturday afternoon at 3 p.m., so please bring a main dish,
side dish, or desert to share with other club members. The pot luck is always a big hit
at the outings and a great time to swap fishing stories.
There are two ponds at the park that can be fished from shore or with your float
tube/pontoon boat. The entry point for people using float tubes/pontoon boats is at
the paved boat launch ramp. Be careful when launching, because the boat ramp can
be very slippery. The Verde River offers another opportunity for stream fishing. The
ponds at the park and the Verde River are stocked with trout on a regular basis during
the winter months. There is a scheduled stocking for the ponds during the week of
February 6th. This should make for a good weekend of fishing. I look forward to seeing
you at the outing.
