Fishmaster Notes
By Harry Petrakis
As you read this we will have closed the book on SCFF's 2006 fishouts, eighteen in all. Most were well-attended. Some were especially enjoyable, several were particularly memorable. You just never know when you're going to have the time of your life, and your chances are good whenever you participate in one of SCFF's fishouts. Check out the preliminary 2007 fishout schedule below and put at least one on YOUR calendar.
Maybe you would like to host a fishout. We're always looking for new places to have fun. Call me and I'll walk you through the process.
There's a rumor afoot that the High Sierra Pack Trip may be resurrected in a new version. Call Tom Donovan if you want to sleep with the bears and wake to the smell of boiled coffee.
Sam Bishop may show us his surf perching secrets as well. Stay tuned.
Many thanks to everyone who was involved in putting on the 2006 fishouts. The great fishmaster in the sky will look favorably on you when He checks your license.

(1) Public Education Day and the Club ConFab are combined this year.
(2) This one's so nice, she scheduled it twice!

You must be a paid-up member of Santa Cruz Fly Fishermen to partcipate in these fishouts.
* For more information and to sign up for outings, contact the fishmasters, look for handouts at the club meetings and write-ups in the newsletter. Some fishouts require advanced planning and payment. Please don't ask fishmasters for refunds if you have signed up, paid, and later find out you are unable to attend the fishout. Fees paid ahead are not refundable, unless someone else takes your place.
