Current PROGRAM

California Fly Fishing Open

This year, not even the pandemic can prevent us from having one of our biggest event of the year, the 2020 California Fly Fishing Open. Although, we have slightly changed a few things, we are excited to have it for many reasons:

  1. You can now fish on any public waters in California

  2. We have a few categories in which each participants could have a chance to win a prize.

  3. A smaller team of only 2, so you can feel safer during this time of COVID-19

  4. We are not charging our usual fee of $50 per participant, but we only ask each participant to be a member of our club, which is only $25 per year/$35 per family per year.

This year, we donated a set amount to Kern River Conservancy and Kern Valley Search and Rescue.

One of our many goals as a fly fishing club is to give back to the community. We created the California Fly Fishing Open with the hope of building stronger ties with fishy fly fishing folks while also giving back to such an amazing community.
