Critical Meetings Scheduled to Address the Future of the FCO

Please make an effort to attend the January and February Club meetings and provide your thoughts on the future of your fly fishing club. As you understand from the letter all members received, the Club is at a crossroads and action from members is imperative to assure the camaraderie, history, fly fishing education, and conservation opportunities continue for those who love the sport. Your club needs your ideas, your energy, your interest, and your dedication to keep it vital, relevant, and enjoyable. You may also submit your ideas directly to FCO President Mike Radakovich and Flyfisher Foundation President Janet Arenz.
