Weekly Meeting Schedule

All DRiFT members are invited to enjoy pizza and a fly exchange to close out our meeting schedule.  Bring 6 flies to swap and maybe win some door prizes!  

(Let us know if you're coming so we can plan appropriately)

The end of season pizza party is being rescheduled.  Please check back for updates when we post them.

Join our FFI Certified Casting Instructors and club members on Saturday mornings to fine tune your cast, work on accuracy, distance or try the FFI casting challenges!  Fun and very useful for all levels of fly casters.  

* Must be a FFI member to receive formal certification for the FFI casting challenges, but everyone is invited to try it!

Water quality monitoring resumes Saturday June 4th (weather and water permitting) at 9 am.  We will take water samples and count aquatic insects just below the Batavia damn and at Glenwood Park.

Join us for a fun and very educational morning at the river.  

Contact Bob Lindsey for more info.

*Possibly meeting for breakfast prior to the activities.
