2025 October Meeting
Our October Meeting is going to be a fantastic evening! On Monday October 6th, at 6:30 pm. We will meet at the CPW classroom for our annual Roundtable where we will learn Knot tying, Rod Building, Euro Fishing and Fly Tying. We will also have a yard sale with everything relating to fishing and the outdoors available. Please bring any items you would like to donate to the yard sale to help raise funds for the club community service projects. The yard sale items will be for sale for cash or check only. No credit cards can be accepted.
The highlight of the evening will be celebrating the 60th anniversary of the club which was formed in 1965. Please ask past members or officers to come join us. We will share stories of the past 60 years of trips, meetings etc. Cakes will be provided for the festivities.
It's going to be an evening of inspiration and community, and we hope to see you there!
The Peak Fly Shop is having two classes in October that will be of interest to most of us. See details in the October Newsletter.
