Help maintain quality fishing environments with DRiFT. Twice a year we clean a stretch of the West branch of the Dupage River in the Blackwell Forest Preserve.
Dates will be announced soon.
DRiFT has a long history of involvement with Scouting, helping to develop and grow the fly tying/fly fishing merit badge. We also work with local Scouting troops to teach fly tying and fly casting to help Scouts earn merit badges.
Next date: September 27th Boy Scout Jamboree at The Forge (near Lamont HS)
Contact Bob Charles to help out.
DRiFT works with several local high schools to give students the opportunity to learn about fly tying and fly fishing. We guide the students in tying two of their own flies and give casting lessons.
Next session will start in the Fall.
Contact Bob Lindsey for information and to volunteer!
For many years DRiFT has worked with Hines VA Hospital to provide our Veterans who have suffered injuries, the chance to enjoy a day out fishing.
