Fishmaster's Corner Updated 8/10/2010; new outings, dates, and changes in red (scroll down to see the 2010 Fishout schedule)
All dates are tentative, and rescheduling may have to occur due to weather and high flows, which are always a concern, especially for outings in northerly areas of the state. Each fishout leader will USUALLY email status. CALL them IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS !
Summer has finally arrived and so
have high water flows. The lakes are pretty full and the rivers are
flowing high and cold. After the snow melt and run-off, there
should be some good fishing out there. Please be careful near the
high flowing rivers.
Following are the fishouts scheduled so far. Thanks to the fishout leaders who have stepped up to lead. However, we still need more volunteers to fill out the schedule; the goal is 2 fishouts per month I know many of you out there have led fishouts before and could help again. Also, if you have never led a fishout, I can help you get started. I can help you choose a location, write the Leader article, help with sign-ups, and even find a co-leader. Trust me, it's a rewarding experience and you'll get to meet new club members and have fun in the process.
The club could really use your help: we need fishout leaders for the next few months. Some ideas for fishouts are:

This is where you can locate past, present and future outings that Granite Bay Flycasters provides to its Membership. You can also find these fishouts listed on our annual calendar pages. These Club Fishouts are designed to give flyfishers the best opportunity to catch fish. From selecting the right location and time, to helping those members new to the sport, we try to make these trips fun, exciting and successful. Our Club has many accomplished anglers who are willing to share their skills with others and you are only limited by your willingness to become involved. We are also fortunate to have some of the best fisheries in the nation. Whether you are interested in Stripers, Shad, Salmon, Steelhead, Bass, Pan Fish, or Trout, our region has opportunities available on a year-round basis.
Fishout details will be published in The Leader and on the Web page links below by the beginning of the month of the fishout. Since weather/water conditions and other factors can affect fishout arrangements, you should always be in contact with the Fishout Leader before attending an event. Club Fishouts are limited to participation by active club members only...if you haven't joined GBF yet, be sure to contact us (here) for an application so we can get you enrolled.
We will also have fill-in, spur of the moment outings in between the regular scheduled Club Fishouts that will be announced via the GBF Message Board or an Email message blast. We're looking forward to a fun and productive year.

To those who took the time to fill out a fishout survey, we appreciate your effort in helping us construct a fishout schedule for this year based on your input. We presented the survey results at the July 2007 meeting in PowerPoint format after selecting the 20 locations that received the highest number of votes.
Based on the survey results, the fishout schedule for this year is set out in order by date. While all dates are tentative, especially the ones that are farthest out in time, you can use this schedule to make your plans and save dates.
In addition to the scheduled outings, there will be “impromptu” outings at some of the other locations listed in the survey itself, and at some of the locations that were written into the survey form by those who responded. For these, we will use the message board and “email blasts” to notify members in advance.
Feel free to contact the outing committee members if you have any questions. Because the schedule is somewhat tentative, please feel free to provide input. Our names and contact information is shown above at the top of this webpage. How to sign up for a fishout: Once an article appears in the Leader and on the Website, it will inform you when and where you can sign up. Usually, a sign-up sheet will be offered at the next Club meeting. Some Fishouts have a limit on the number of participants. This is to ensure that participants have a quality experience and the event is not over crowded. Also, some private access locations only allow a finite amount of anglers at one time. On limited fishouts we do not allow pre-sign up. This is so all members have a fair chance to participate. Please, do not call the Fishout Leader for pre-sign ups on limited fishouts. Once you receive notification in the Leader and Website for unlimited member fishouts, you can sign up at anytime by contacting the Fishout Leader. You may access a complete copy of GBF's Fishout and Clinic Guidelines at this link. |

Fishout Leaders needed...Click this link for GBF's "Guideline for Fishouts and Clinics" Would you like to lead a GBF Fishout? Choose one of your favorite spots (or one you don't mind sharing with others) and lead your fellow GBF'ers there for a day (or longer) of fishing, fun, and fellowship. Even if you have never organized such an outing, GBF will make it easy (and fun) for you. It doesn't need to be a blue ribbon stream. A good farm pond or a productive stretch of a local stream or lake will do. Or consider limiting the participation to only a few people if the area you like won't support much pressure. Click this link for “How to lead a GBF Fishout” and this link for a blank fishout template form (Right click & "Save As" a Word document) you can return to the Fishmaster and Webmaster, who will use it to help you plan your fishout and article for the Leader, which is due by the 15th of the preceding month.
