If you know of someone who is missing from this page please email the webmaster at: webmaster@tracyflyfishers.org. The Hall of Fame recognizes the contributions of individuals to the club. We recognize individuals at the annual Installation Dinner which is now better known simply as the "Crab Feed". We now present THREE awards at the dinner. The "Fly Fisher of the Year" is awarded to an individual who has made significant contributions to the club. The "Dry Fly" award is given to a member who has significantly improved their fly fishing skills in a big way... in other words, the most improved fly fisher. The newest award of the 3 was implemented by Rod Buchanan in 2010 and is officially known as the Spring Creek award. This award honors a club member who has made contributions to the club "behind the scenes". In addition to the "Fly Fisher of the Year" and "Dry Fly" awards the club can also recognize other individuals for contributions made over a sustained period of time. Since we are a relatively young club we haven't done this to a large extent. We began this tradition in 2008 when we recognized Sandy Leo for her contributions to the club as Conservation chair for a number of years. That year we instituted a Trout in the Classroom project and appropriately named it the "Sandy Leo Trout in the Classroom Project" in honor of her service ! Our Golden Trout award recognizes fly fishers that have demonstrated a well rounded mastery of our sport. Applicants are required to demonstrate competency in several areas including: fly tying, rod building, conservation, casting and authorship among others.
