2024 Otter Creek Instructional Outing
November 2 @ 9:00 am – 1:00 pm
Location: Garrettsville Picnic Grounds Otter Creek Recreational Area (First right after entrance) Google Map Link
New to fly fishing and want some “ALMOST FREE” one-on-one instruction? Been fly fishing for some time but want to up your game — maybe advanced casting techniques, get a primer on Euro Nymph fishing? This instructional outing is just for you. You do not need to be a club member to participate, so bring a friend!
There is a $3 per person daily entry fee that must be purchased online prior to arrival and kept on your person while you are in OCRA. You can purchase a single day permit or an annual permit for $30. Either can be purchase at Otter Creek Permit. (Note: You have to proceed as if you are buying a license. When you get to the Licenses and Permits page, scroll to the Otter Creek permit section and select the Day Pass or annual pass as appropriate.)
If you want to fish you will need a valid Kentucky fishing license but not a trout stamp. You’ll also want to bring your waders if you have them–bank fishing is limited.
We will be serving a free lunch at 1 pm (hot dogs, chips and drinks). Don’t forget your camp/lawn chair – picnic tables are limited.
Wes would like a head count for planning purposes and we need some volunteers to help with the instruction.

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.
