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.
