Important information regarding the AZGFD Draft Environmental Assesment (EA) for the Arizona Fish Stocking Program

Visit the Game and Fish website for details on the AZGFD's Proposed Action and two Alternatives.

Click this link http://www.azgfd.gov/h_f/fishea.shtml

The website contains basic information about the EA process, the three options, and how to comment.

Be careful, This information may scare you into making a comment to the AZGFD. I don't know if this sort of thing would be a good idea to make a comment mon behalf of the club as a whole or not. I would be interested to hear what you think.

SUMMER 2009

The Prescott Flycasters hosted a series of kid's fishing clinics this summer for the Prescott Yavapai Indian Tribe's Boy's and Girl's Club. The events went well and the younger kids definetly had a blast. Some of the older teens were too busy texting...but such is the life of a teenager. With the passing of long-time flycaster, Mendy Mendenhall, we as a club are going to be ramping up our efforts to work with local children's organizations in his name and in his honor. For this reason, I would like to give a heartfelt thanks to those of you that helped make the first annual Mendy Mendenhall Kid's Fishing Clinics a possability. In addition to these efforts the club is looking into purchasing a set of flyrods to be used during such events. If anybody has ideas for fundraising events, let me know.
