Sign up Now! Lower Yuba River Sat-Sun, March 28-29

Bob Woznicki and Charlie Kobata will be the fishmasters for this infrequent opportunity to fish the University of California’s stretch of the Lower Yuba river. You can sign up for either one or both days at: https://grizzlypeakflyfishers. org/event-3625432

Charlie and Bob will give a Yuba River talk a couple of weeks before the outing, most likely at Fish First in Albany. They will talk about the best approaches, gear and techniques. Also, charlie will give us a last-minute review at the river the day of the event. Sign up now, this event will definitely fill up. All registrants will be emailed the date and time of the lecture.

Casting Practice with Mark Likos Wednesday, March 11

Join Mark from 5:30 to 6:30 just a short walk from our monthly meeting at Sports Basement at 2727 Milvia St. in Berkeley for casting practice for any club member who wishes to participate. Measured targets will be placed at multiple intervals (much like you see at the Oakland Casting Ponds). If you have time, grab your own rig to bring to practice, do so! If you come straight from work, no worries, Mark will have a few club rigs for your use.
