Along with entertainment, thousands of dollars of merchandise and services from local and national merchants will be available at the raffle and the silent auction. Some examples of merchandise include fly fishing rods, reels and equipment, fly tying equipment and materials, guided fishing trips, boat rentals, lodging and dinner packages, a 2-night Lake Tahoe hotel stay and lake cruise tickets, dinner certificates from a number of restaurants, car washes, oil change, horseback rides, a portrait sitting, wine, jewelry, hair care products, salon services, and much more.

Proceeds from the dinner and fundraiser support HSFC education and conservation projects, fly fishing retreats for individuals who have or have had cancer, and fishing retreats for US military veterans. It’s a good cause, and there will be good food and a good time for all so come out and support the Club.

After considerable discussion by the High Sierra Fly Casters’ Board of Directors it has been decided that we will change the date and location for our monthly club meetings. Our new location will be the Douglas County Elks Lodge, located at 1227 Kimmerling Road in Gardnerville, and our meeting night will change to the second Wednesday of the month. The first meeting at the new location will be on April 11th, 2012.

The Elks Club is a new facility located just west of the US Post Office on Kimmerling. In addition to a more intimate meeting area with better acoustics we will have access to the club lounge where soft drinks, beer, wine and mixed drinks will be available at a nominal cost. In order to provide more socializing time, the meeting start time will change to 7:15 p.m., with the doors open at 6:30 p.m.

The Board meeting will also change from the first to the third Wednesday of the month at our normal meeting location at The Angler’s Edge.

The February club meeting will still be at the Methodist Church on the 3rd Wednesday. Because of the annual dinner, there will be no general meeting in March.
