What's up?~MAY~May 16th:Club Meeting starts at 7:00pm, at the Tracy Transit Station Hal Jansen Hal Janssen is a nationally known writer, artist, lecturer, and video personality. He has been fly fishing for over 50 years and has fished extensively throughout the North and South America for nearly every species of fresh and salt water fish. Hal's account of his first steelhead trip was wading wet in the winter because no one made waders for 9 year old kids in 1952. The old timers from the Golden Gate Casting Club adopted him, setting him up with a shooting head and teaching him to cast. Hal’s self-confidence and fiery enthusiasm seem to guide him in everything he does.
This is a not to be missed program! ~APRIL~April 17th: Club Meeting starts at 7:00pm, at the Tracy Transit Station. Craig Gitting's program "Chile's Patagonia"

~ MARCH ~March 20th: Club Meeting starts at 7:00pm, at the Tracy Transit Station.Gary Howard will present 2 shows.The first show is the Upper Kern. In 2004 we went on a trip sponsored by Fish and Game, FFF, Trout Unlimited, and Cal Trout. The objective of the trip was to collect DNA samples of Golden Trout in the Upper Kern. We tried to get 40 DNA samples from each of about 20 different locations. The testing of these samples told us that every Golden Trout planted by the Fish and Game since 1935 was crossed with Rainbow trout. This is a tough trip. You park your car at Symmes Creek Trailhead, (5,600 feet) hike 10 miles to Shepard Pass (12,600 feet), and then another 5 miles to the basin.The second show is of Cottonwood Basin Lakes. This is the place that the Fish and Game takes eggs and sperm from netted fish and hatch them in their hatcheries. These are the Golden Trout that have been planted through out the Sierras since 1935. It is not a tough trip into the Cottonwood Lakes basin. This is a trip you can do. You can park your car at 10,000 feet and hike to 11,200 feet in two hours to Cottonwood Basin. There you have a choice of ten lakes to catch Golden Trout.Come on down and sign up for fly fishing and tying classes. Learn how to get free casting instruction once a month from a certified casting instructor! The only way is to show up at the next meeting and see what Tracy Fly Fishers have to offer.
