Have a fun and safe summer!

As is our tradition, the Cane Country Fly Casters will not hold regular monthly meetings during July and August.  Our next regular meeting will be on September 9th.   

However, we are working on a Saturday morning workshop sometime in July or August.  In addition, there are regional events and activities taking place this summer, which we'll announce here.  So please continue to visit our website often over the summer period.

Spring Fishing Outing cancelled due to weather

The low pressure system that brought 8 inches of rain this past week to the Red River area threatened to dump more rain on us Saturday, so we had to postpone our Spring Outing on Lake Cotile.  We plan to reschedule, although it might be a "Summer" or "Fall" outing as opposed to Spring.  In the meantime, we encourage CCFC members to post any fishing reports on our forum on WarmFly.com.
