One Fly Contest


DFFers sweep one fly contest

Earl Summers (left)won for biggest fish, a 17 1/2 " rainbow and Harv Hamlow (right) won for most trout, ten rainbows.
Harv Hamlow won the grand prize catching 10 trout and LDRing another three at the Calaveras Club's One Fly Contest held at White Pines Lake on May 12 and Earl Summers won for the biggest fish with a 17 1/2" rainbow. About ten DFFers attended and everyone caught a few fish. Over the years DFF has dominated the competition winning the majority of the contests between the two clubs.

The Calaveras club were great hosts and provided a wonderful tri tip sandwich lunch at the end of the fishing. We'll be back again next year to defend our titles.

June's Program

 

Get Ready fo the Delta Fly Fishers June Barbecue

Can it be June already? Where has spring gone? In any case the Delta Fly fishers are morphing into their summer coat. The June 13th barbecue will kick off the travel season for many in the club with destinations like Montana, Idaho, Oregon, Wyoming and Utah high on the trout fishing calendar.

Others will head for the salt with Baja, the Yucatan and other destinations south offering crystal clear water, giant fish and exotic food and atmosphere.

The club's general membership meetings will move to the Nature Center at Oak Grove Park for  the summer months of July and August with the president providing the program, usually an outstanding video.

Back to the barbecue. It's a pot luck affair with an alphabetical range for different dishes and the rib eye steaks provided by the club. The list of who's to bring what will be published just after the club's board meeting on the 16th.

Bill Laughlin states the raffle will be the second largest of the year, only surpassed by the raffle at the annual dinner.

So, come one, come all! Put the date on your calendar and if the past barbecues are any indication of what to expect, come hungry!
