Fish Outs
The club holds several fishouts each year (almost every month). While we focus most of these fishouts on local waters, some are farther afield and are multi-day camp-outs, as well. Fishouts are fun social outings and a great way to meet other members, exchange fly fishing information, build your skills with mentors or just broaden your horizons with a variety of fishing locations and enjoy the great outdoors.
Please see the club calendar for the current schedule of fishing and other activities.
NOTE: fishouts are subject to change depending on weather and/or water and river conditions. We try to give 24-hour notice of these changes and notify club members by email, so it's important that you check your email before you head to a fishout. As a general rule, if there are chain controls up on the route to/from the fishout, the fishout is canceled.
We generally encourage attendees to practice keep fish wet, catch and release fishing. We do not object to responsible harvesting of fish.
We recommend the following gear for fishing:
Wearing an appropriate personal floatation device when fishing a float or wading in above-the-knee moving water.
Use a wading staff in running water.
Wearing polarized sunglasses with UV protection while fly fishing (or near anyone throwing hooks).
Use debarbed hooks for your safety and others... it's good for the fish too!
We expect those attending our fishouts to adhere to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations.
Please share photos you've taken during our fishouts by sending them to info@hsfc.us or, if you happen to be on Facebook, by posting them in our Facebook chat group.
