Scroll down to see photos of Sagehen 2006 Update 3/28/2009: This fantastic workshop will take place Saturday, June 13th- Sunday, June 14th. Adults cost is $45.00, kids are FREE! As of the March general meeting, we had 19 people signed up. The $45 pays for overnight lodging in the cabins, 3 meals and all instructional materials. Limit is 30 participants (staying overnight in the cabins). Offsite RV camping is available, and the day use fee will be $28 for Saturday only participation, $45 for Saturday and Sunday. This includes meals!
The clinic is on Saturday. Our instructor will be our very own GBF Member, Terry Eggleston. He’ll be showing us the comparison between the real bugs vs. our tied flies in a classroom setting. There will also be a stream collection and observation time, and a casting demonstration by Bill Carnazzo which will be viewed under water in the stream-side viewing chamber so we can see exactly how a trout really looks at and takes (or refuses) a fly.
On Sunday you will have the opportunity to do some fishing on your own in the various creeks, rivers, and lakes in the area. More information will be posted on the website.
If you have any questions, you can contact me at Tggr514@yahoo.com or John Carroz at jwcarroz@surewest.net. Learn about aquatic insects and how fish feed on them. This class will be held at Sagehen Creek on June 13-14. Contact Robin Egan for details and to sign up. Don't miss this one--it will flatten your trout fishing learning curve and give you a good understanding of the basics of "fishin' bugs." Please print and sign the Sagehen WAIVER (click for PDF download) or sign it at check-in.

IMPORTANT…FEES: To attend, email Robin Egan. The total cost per person for members staying off site is $28 including 3 meals. Those members staying at Sagehen will be charged $45 per person. Young adults 7 years and older are welcome and there is no charge for those 17 years and younger. Register early, the facility only holds about 25-30 people.
The field station has several bunkhouses reserved for us, and the nearby Sagehen and Prosser campgrounds are also available if you prefer a quieter location that guarantees you won't have someone snoring in the bunk bed next to, above or below you! Robin will fill you in on the arrangements, and she plans to reserve a separate bunkhouse for the men, one for the women, and one for the presenters. The field station has nice facilities, including hot showers, kitchen, dining room and classroom. The campground is about a 10 minute walk, half a mile upstream from the field station on a separate, gated road. Campers will be charged the same activity fee, which will include all the presentations, field study, meals and access to the showers.
