As promised, our chapter will have no less than six outings for the 2010 calendar year. Last year's outings were a big success and our goal is to continue improving on them each year. Our outings are designed for anyone that wants to fish --both experienced and beginner, and we are offering both day trips and overnight trips with transportation often provided. We sincerely hope there will be at least one that you can make this year. *Also if there is a trip that you would like for us to pursue, please do not hesitate to let us know. Many of our trips are courtesy of a suggestion made by folks just like YOU!
Plan on joining us. However keep in mind that dates are subject to change because we never know what the future holds. Outings are an integral part of this chapter and they are open to anyone. If you are considering an outing with us please please commit as soon as possible. Committing will mean a payment on the expected cost of the outing, due to the fact that slots do fill up. Last year, we had to turn away folks who waited to long to sign up for trips, so please do not delay or you will miss out on some wonderful fishing, fellowship, and fun.
For your trip reservations or questions, call KEITH CLOUD at 803 606-7871(cell), or 803 781-9568 (home).
