February 22-24: This year the Club will be doing two outing to Clearlake for some of the best crappie fishing that the state has to offer. One outing will be during the week and one on a weekend for those that can only travel on weekends. Our overnight accommodations will again be at Indian Beach Resort in Clearlake Oaks, CA. The lodge is conveniently located on the lake with a boat ramp, boat slips, cleaning station and nice cabins. The first trip will be Tuesday February 22nd to Thursday February 24th, spending two nights at the lodge. The second trip will be Friday March 11th to Sunday March 13th, spending two nights at the lodge. Cost for the two nights and three days of fishing will be $185 per person which includes room and meals. In anticipation of a good turnout, I have already reserved cabins #8 and #9 which are capable of sleep at least 6 anglers. We will reserve more rooms as needed. Those wishing to attend can sign up for either date by mailing a check to: DFF C/O Jerry Neuburger 5 North California Street Lodi, CA 95240 (please indicate the dates wished on the check) or by clicking on one of the following links and paying by credit or debit card.

March 19th: Women's Outreach: A Day on a Local Water; 10 am to 2 pm; call for location. We will meet on a local waterway (40 minute drive from Lodi). Call Amy at 209-329-4801 for exact location. We will review building an indicator rig including some knot tying practice. There will be opportunities to fish a local river. Waders, boots, fishing license required. PFD highly recommended. All participants will be required to sign a liability waiver. All women are welcome. Hot tea and pastries will be provided. This is a small waterway. A 4 wt is sufficient but you can easily fish a 5 wt or a 3 wt rod. All terminal materials will be provided (indicators, tippet, flies). There is no charge for the day but donations to cover snacks are appreciated.

March 25-27: Pyramid Lake Outing- we have trailers seven and eight reserved for Friday and Saturday nights, March 26, 27, and 28. Each trailer can accommodate up to seven fly fishers for a total of up to 14. Each of the trailers have two private bedrooms and a common room with three singles. The private bedrooms makes it easy to accommodate females and couples since they will be assured the privacy of their own rooms. For those with the ability to arrive at the lake early Friday, it’s suggested that they fish during the day and then check in to the rooms in the early evening about sundown. For those poor souls who have to work, they can drive the 3 hour drive to the lake after work, hopefully arriving in time (7:30) for the cost included spaghetti dinner with salad, French bread and dessert. The costs include various options for breakfast on a make it yourself basis including cereals, toast, oatmeal, or bagels and cream cheese along with coffee and tea for both Saturday and Sunday mornings. Lunch fixings are also included in the costs, again on a make it yourself basis. Sandwiches, fruit, cookies and soft drinks are on the menu. Attendees will be able to fish all day Saturday and have their choice of eating at the lodge, cooking their own dinner using the facilities in the trailer or driving to the Reno/Sparks area for dinner. Sunday participants can either head straight home or, if they purchased a three day license (fishing licenses are NOT included in the cost of the outing), fish the day out as long as they clear their gear from the trailers before hand. As the outing gets nearer, a description of the fishery will be forthcoming to assist those traveling to the lake for the first time. For those that don’t know, a 20 pound trout is a possibility when fishing this lake and fish into their teens are caught and released almost daily. Because of the cost of the accommodations, some attendance thresholds are necessary to make the outing work. At least5 anglers must sign up to make a single trailer work, ten for both trailers. Again, couples and female anglers no problem and in fact, encouraged. If the pass is closed or a storm imminent, the outing may be cancelled. However, once booked, a member may not cancel. They may however, gift or sell their spot. This outing can be booked NOW by following this link or by mailing a $90 check to: DFF Treasurer, Jerry Neuburger 5 North California Street Lodi, CA 95240 Last date to book, 3/19/22. Because the percipients will be in close contact for extended periods of time, the fishmiester, Jerry Neuburger is requiring that ALL participants show proof of COVID 19 vaccination.

April 9th – Scott Sugimoto and Bob Fujimura are co-hosting another guided float outing on the Lower Sacramento River like the previous October group outing. Full day guided outing with a group lunch are included in the price of $275 per person (based double occupancy of each drift boat).  This event is suitable for all levels of fish fishers and beginners are especially welcome.  Payment and a signed DFF liability waiver form will be required to register for this event.  More details on this event to come.
