As a repeated reminder, the January Fly Club monthly meeting is being held on Wednesday the 8th of January rather than the normal first Wednesday of the month which in this case is New Years Day. Anyone who shows up on the first, have fun in the parking lot.

Take a look at this Vector 1000 Amp portable jumper with 120 psi compressor. Deep in the boonies, low tire or dead battery, no problem. It even will keep your cell phone charged!
How about this 42 0z. Rambler mug from Yeti. Keeps cold drinks cold and hot drinks hot. Environment friendly reusable straw.
We will also have up for grabs winners choice of a 6wt, 7wt, or 8wt V-Access 9 foot 4 section Rod with matching reel.

Ok folks, it is now June and time to really get serious about some fine fly fishing.
We have some great raffle prizes help get the party started.
ROD AND REEL PACKAGE
How about a winners pick for either a 5wt, 6wt, or 7wt V-Access 9 ft four piece rod in a cordura hard case along with a matching machine cut HCH reel. Winners choice from mountain trout streams to open water stripers and everything in between. One rod/reel prize will be awarded, winners choice.
HEXAGENIA FLIES
For some of us, June means one thing-HEX HATCH! And that means Lake Almanor, Butt Valley Reservoir, Lake Davis, Fall River, and a few other guarded secret spots that produce the mid-summer Hexagenia Fly. Lance Gray, famed Lake Almanor guide, has put together a box of a dozen of his favorite Hex flies ranging from his Swimming AP, Hex Wiggletail, Hex Dunn, to a Loop Wing Paranymph plus a few in between. A great selection of some great flies.
Note: Henderson Springs has quite a prolific hex hatch in mid-May.
STILLWATER GUIDE BOOK
The good news is that we had a very wet winter however the downside is that some of our favorite streams and rivers will be running high well into summer. Might be time to give some thought to Stillwater options. To that end we have a great book raffle prize “Fly Fishing California Stillwater” by Bill Sunderland.
This beauty is loaded with extensive stillwater techniques, detailed maps, gorgeous photographs, fly selection tips, and local connections to help you achieve success in our mountain and valley waters. A true treasure trove of stillwater information.
