What Joe said, bump

I haven't been to an AFC meeting since I use to go with my grandpa while in high school. Damn that was a long time ago now. Randomly found a bunch of his stuff from it when going through some of his fishing stuff a few weeks ago. This sounds like a good time to come on back out. Hope to see some others there.

We're only a week away from the Skip Morris two-night event hosted by DFC and AFC. Both presentations are free and open to the general public, so plan to arrive early to secure your seat.

Skip and Carol Morris will have books available for purchase at both meetings.

DFC's beefed-up monthly raffle will include a custom built 7pc., 9', 5 wt. fly rod, Lamson 3/4 fly reel, Fishpond lumbar pack, Orvis pack and more!

Additionally, immediately following Skip's presentation, we'll hold the drawing for the 2015 DFC Membership Rod Raffle featuring a Dave Weaver Built St. Croix SCv 9', 5wt. Eligibility for this raffle requires a 2015 DFC membership ($35), which you can still purchase before the meeting Wed. night.

Please RSVP to this thread with the night(s) you plan to attend. This will help us get a better idea of how many people to expect.

Thanks and hope to see you there!
