WHAT’S GOING ON, AND WHO WE ARE….

FFFC January General Meeting

 


When: Thursday, January 9th, 2025 from 7 to 9PM

Where: Provost & Pritchard office building

 


Topic: The Lower Sac Without a Bobber


Because of the proximity to New Year’s day we pushed our General Meeting date back a week.  Our speaker is Andrew Harris. Bill Bruce was lucky enough to hear Andrew present at last year’s Plesanton Fly Show and know that you will not want to miss his talk on the Lower Sacramento River.  Many of us have fished this river on a drift boat with a guide but Andrew will share with us how to approach this large body of water on foot and without a bobber!  Our club is planning to host an outing to Redding in late 2025 to fish the Lower Sacramento.  This program should get you excited about going.

The Lower Sac without a Bobber: Believe it or not, you can catch fish on the Lower Sac on a variety of techniques that do not involve a big bobber and a ton of lead. Andrew's presentation covers dry fly, dry/dropper, streamer, swing, spey and tight-line nymphing techiques plus wading access points for this prolific trout fishery.
 

Andrew Harris has been guiding in northern California since 1997. He lives in Red Bluff, California with his wife Katie and daughters Mackenzie and Madison. In 2007 Andrew created Confluence Outfitters with help from partners Gino Bernero and Jon Hazlett. Andrew puts the "Outfitter" in Confluence Outfitters, as he is the one who answers the phones and emails. Andrew can help you select the right guide, destination, and time of year for your next fly fishing trip.

Andrew is a USCG-licensed Captain, is a regular on the fly-club speaker circuit, has written countless articles for California Fly Fisher and other magazines, and is the author of the Plumas National Forest Fishing Guide, a fly fishing guidebook to the Feather River Country. Andrew is currently President of the Shasta-Trinity-Cascades chapter of Trout Unlimited.


Tight Lines, See you at the meeting!

Our Mission


We are a FEDERATION OF FLY FISHERS ffiliated club, a national organization whose goal, like ours, is to promote the wonderful sport of fly-fishing as well as protect our natural resources. We promote catch and release, education, conservation, and above all, encourage and help those who desire to learn more about all aspects of fly-fishing.


Fly Fishers for Conservation (FFFC) was organized in 1961 by a group of devoted fly fishers deeply concerned with the preservation of trout and all game fish, their environment, and the quality of fishing. Our club has maintained two goals since that time: To foster and promote the sport of angling with artificial flies. To protect, conserve and increase our angling resources.

Fly Fishers for Conservation is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt non-profit organization. This means you can use your contribution as a tax deduction. The club gets revenue from member-ship dues and the annual fundraiser dinner. We try to contribute to conservation issues in the area and to our youth with our Trout in the Classroom program, the No Child Left Inside program and by holding a Youth Fly-Fishing Academy annually. The club is al-ways in need of funds. Please consider donating. You may send a check to Fly Fishers for Conservation at PO Box 1192, Clovis, CA 93613. Your donations will be greatly appreciated and they will help the club fulfill its obligations.
