SUMMARY:Youth School (members only)
DESCRIPTION:IF YOU ARE WILLING TO VOLUNTEER TO ASSIST IN LEADERSHIP OF THIS PROJECT PLEASE CONTACT A BOARD MEMBER OR THE WEBMISTRESS. \n\n  \n \nYouth School provides an enjoyable and positive fly fishing experience for young people (age 7-16) while educating them in all aspects of fly fishing. They will be taught stream-side safety and etiquette. They will learn about the different kinds of fly rods\, reels\, lines\, and leaders. Fly rods will be provided so that each student will learn the proper methods of casting. Then\, with school-supplied tools and materials\, they will be taught how to tie a streamer and a dry fly which they will use in the afternoon to catch fish. \nOur instructors are club members who are avid fly fishers and are eager to share their talents and knowledge with the students\, who may someday join our club and meet with us in our favorite fishing holes. \nInvite a young person to come and join us for a fun filled day that we are sure they will remember for a long time! \n\nTarget Age: young people between the ages of 7 and 16\nEvent Date: TBD 2026 10:00 am – 4:00 pm.\nMeals:\nCost: There is no cost for the school. All dues paying members may sponsor a young person for this school.\nLocation: Michigan State University Toll Gate Center\, located at Meadowbrook Road and 12 Mile Road in Novi\, Michigan\nEnrollment Deadline: TBD 2026\n\nThe agenda will be communicated to participants prior to the end of April. \nA chairperson is needed for this event.

SUMMARY:Dick Schot New Member Outing at Wa Wa Sum
DESCRIPTION:Individuals that were not able to make it this year\, are still eligible next year. \n\nMichigan Fly Fishing Club – New Members Outing\nThe MFFC New Members outing will be held again at Michigan State University’s WaWaSum Lodge.  The lodge is located about 7 miles East of Grayling\, MI on the Au Sable River. \nWe will be checking in on Wednesday the 6th of May after 3 PM and checking out on the Saturday\, May 9th by 11 AM. \nThe cost is $ 290 per person.  This includes meals and lodging. \nMake your check out to Michigan Fly Fishing Club (or MFFC).  I would like to have the checks dated May 1\, 2026.  I give the payment to the club right after the trip.  If you have to cancel I can just return your check or rip it up.  When you date your check for May 1 you know I will present it to the Club after the trip.  Your check is your reservation.  I am starting the reservation list now. \nIn the past we have asked for donations for our club guides as they work very hard to provide quality\, expertise and resources to the experience. \nWe do not have speakers lined up yet\, but will hopefully provide for a presentation every night. \nThe accomodations are separate rooms that hold three to four people per room.  We do the best we can to shuffle the assignments around in order to give everyone an appropriate space. \nWhat to bring:\nFly fishing equipment: \n5 wt rod will do nicely.  This is mostly dry fly fishing.  Line and leaders for surface work. \nWaders \nVest with fly fishing tools \nSmall net (Optional) \nSun Glasses \nMoney for flies etc…. \nOther stuff: \nOf course Rain Gear. \nSleeping bag or sheets.  There are bedspreads but no sheets.  These are TWIN beds.  I have found that the sleeping bag is the best option.  Sleep on top of the bed.  No muss no fuss.  There are pillows\, I would not trust them as they are old.  So best bet is to bring your own. \nThere is a large screened in porch.  It has a number of beds on it.  Some have slept there.  Some say it’s nice.  I cannot attest. \nThe porch is a great gathering place to swap stories\, exchange lies and in general plot strategy for fishing. \nExtra pair of dry clothes\, Ive seen people get wet before. \nWading staff is nice to have. \nSleepware…. \nCPAP if needed \nDetails\nWe have lots of room to fish and cast at the lodge.  There are many places along the river to go to for fishing.  There are a few shops in the area for intel and equipment. \nAlso\, if you want to spring for a guide you need to sort that out on your own\, but you can easily take a half day float during this outing. \nContact\nContact details\, please don’t hesitate contacting me with any questions: \nTrip coordinator is myself: \nGlen Easterbrook \nEmail geasterbrook@ameritech.net \nPhone 734-231-5459 \n
