OUTINGS



Mmmmm, that looks good.



April 6th is a “Dutch-Oven-Cookout”. In the past this was an annual event, and very popular. If you enjoy swapping fish stories and great food bring the entire family and have a great time. Please register on the AFC website so that we will know how much food to prepare. The event begins around 10:00 am. But, if you want to learn something about Dutch-Oven cooking and help prepare, arrive around 9:00 am. Our host is a long-time AFC member and an Arizona Dutch-Oven Champion.


The San Juan River outing is scheduled May 4th thru the 8th. Twelve spots have been reserved. Please register early so that we can arrange car pools and sleeping arrangements.



If any of you fly fishers are interested in an intermountain trip in the fall please email me “info@azflycasters.org”.

Some of the options are:

1. South of the Snake thru Irwin Valley, 50 miles from Twin Falls Idaho.

2. Big Hole from below Wise River, northwest of Dillon

3. The Missouri, out of Craig, Montana

4. Bitterroot, Clark Fork of the Missouri out of Hamilton Montana.


Additional information and location for all of these outings can be found on our AFC website. Click on the link for each particular event in the right-hand column. If you have questions email me “info@azflycasters.org”.

Arizona Flycasters Club holds monthly meetings the second Tuesday of the month. The meetings are held at the American-Italian Club located at 7509 N 12th St, Phoenix, AZ.

About once a quarter AFC will hold a new member orientation which starts at 6:00 and coincides with the monthly meeting. Occasionally we will just have a Happy Hour at a different location. These events are announced in advance in the Newsletter and on our web site.
