DCFF Rod Building Class
DCFF is offering a Rod Building class this Spring starting on May 30th. Jim Bearden, with assistance from Gerry McDaniel, will lead the class. Both are long time DCFF members, expert rod builders and have conducted these classes in the past. The class will meet on May 30th, June 13th, 20th, 27th and July 11th at Cabela’s in Louisville. Students will learn how to build a rod from the ground up and will graduate with a quality graphite rod they will be proud to fish with. This class is open to current DCFF members only. There are six spots available and registration will close on May 20th or whenever all six slots are taken — whichever occurs first.
Details on the class and a link to sign up can be found here.
New Fish Identification Web Link
Just added a new web link to our “Websites of Interest ” page. It is an article published on the Seattle Yacht Club website that provides a number of apps and resources for helping you identify fish. You can go directly to the article by clicking here. Many thanks to a couple of Boy Scouts working on their Fishing Merit Badge for finding and recommending this site to us.
KY Fish & Wildlife Boating App
Did you know there is a new mobile app available from KDFWR. Sponsored by the Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Foundation and developed in partnership with the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources!

Items Needed
More than anything, we need volunteers. We need people to step forward and be willing to lead trips or help with our educational and community service activities and events.
New leadership personnel are always welcome to serve as an officer or on the board of directors. If you are interested in exploring the volunteer opportunities with DCFF, please contact the president or one of the other board members! You do not have to be an expert fly fisher to help run the club, and if you get involved, you will get the contacts you need to become a better fly fisher!
DCFF is a registered 501c3 non-profit organization.
