Member Communication

Communications among our membership is a very important aspect of the Atlanta Fly Fishing Club.

Many of our members do not always have the opportunity to attend our monthly meetings due to other personal and business commitments; or, they are members that can not attend our meetings due to geographic obstacles such as "too far to drive", "live in North, or South, Georgia", "live out-of-state", "get home too late" after a meeting, etc.

Our $15 per year membership fee ($25 Family of Two) is a small price to pay to stay connected to a group of like-minded members that pursue the sport of fly fishing in cold, warm and saltwater -- with enthusiasm!

Here are the primary methods that the AFFC communicates with it's membership:

1. Club Newsletter -- produced monthly by our Newsletter Editor. Lots of good stuff
     here.

2. Email via "Yahoo! Groups" -- Yahoo! Groups serves as the conduit for the most timely
    information.
    Do not repond to a Yahoo! Groups member message as they will not receive your reply.
    Instead, utilize the club roster and email the individual directly with your response.

3. AFFC Web Site -- Plenty of links and information plus details about the Atlanta Fly Fishing
    Club.

4. Club Meetings -- Monthly meetings are held at Manuel's Tavern. See the map for location.

5. Fly Fishing Trips -- Minimum of once a month "Hooch" trip the Saturday after each
    meeting. Members get together in small groups to fish streams and other waters throughout the
    Southeast. Also, AFFC coordinates trips to out-of-state destinations. Actual fly fishing trips
    together, whether locally or further away from home, ranks as one of the most rewarding means     of communication as you get to know one another both on and off the water.

6. Education & Tune-up's -- Whether it is your own education, or assisting others to learn,
    communication is key to a great experience. AFFC also has a "Scouts Program" led by our
    Education Director.

7. Fly Tying -- A communications conduit that plays a significant role at AFFC, fly tying and      related clinics boost your knowledge and establish new friendships along the way. This activity
     is lead by our Fly Tying Director.

8. Fly Casting -- AFFC fly casting clinics are lead by AFFC's Fly Casting Director. All members
    are invited to the clinic sessions to take full advantage of this great resource to improve your
    casting skills and get to know fellow AFFC members.
