Meetings are open to everyone, you do not have to be a member to attend. Typical format: 10-15 minute “Tackle Time” presentation on some aspect of Fly Fishing followed by a business segment to introduce new members and guests, take questions and get updates on fishing from attendees, announce/discuss upcoming events/trips, and conduct any required club business. All this is followed by a 30 – 45 minute presentation by a guest speaker on a fly fishing related topic.
At this meeting the main business item will be the election of Board of Directors members for 2025. You can view the slate of candidates here. We need 10% of the membership (minimum 24 members) present to vote to constitute a quorum. Please plan to attend and vote.
The evening’s presentation will be focused on water quality in the Floyds Fork watershed. Trent Winlock, from the Metropolitan Sewer District, will be the presenter. He’ll talk about the definition of water quality – specifically, what it means for habitat, fish, and the humans who pursue them. He’ll also look at the details from three study locations along Floyds Fork – and what those numbers tell us about the health of the waterway.
Trent is originally from Louisville and learned to fly fish on Kentucky’s trout and smallmouth streams. During his 20s he moved west to pursue a river dream of fishing and guiding bigger waters. Countless hours in the sun fostered a deep love for fishy environments – and a great desire to protect them. He eventually moved back to his hometown, where he works for MSD, keeping tabs on the health of the streams of Jefferson County.
As usual we will have DCFF gear and apparel available for purchase as well as a chance to win items from an assortment of gear and materials donated by club members.
