CLUB NEWS
- September 15, 2022 - After a very long couple of years we are finally in position to restart club meetings. We will host our first meeting on Thursday, Oct 6th from 7PM to 9PM once again in the basement of the Eganville Grace Lutheran Church. In order to increase safety, we will spread the tables out a bit more than usual, and are setting up to display the fly tying onto a screen with the projector. This should reduce the close contact that was previously required to see the fly tying, and may actually allow viewing of more details. Looking forward to seeing everyone again!

Their Vision states "This endeavour seeks to bring a high-quality fly fishing and fly tying program to Veteran members of the Canadian Military Services. These veterans are clearly in need of rehabilitation and healing as a result of their service.
