Dear Dedicated Members,

As we journey through another fruitful year at Clark-Skamania Flyfishers, I am continually inspired by the dedication and passion that each of you brings to our community. Our club thrives not only because of our shared love for fly fishing, but also because of the generosity of time, talent, and spirit that so many of you contribute.

I want to personally thank everyone who came up to me or emailed me after our last membership meeting and volunteered to help. Thank you!
