Planning for the 2011 Dick Schott New Member Outing is underway, and we are happy to say this year's outing will be 1-day longer, and 1-week later than last year.
New members wishing to attend the outing are required to attend the club's February 19th Member Fly Fishing School, and be able to show a safe level of fishing / wading proficiency before being included in the outing.
Sign-up will begin at the club's March 2nd Meeting and continue until the outing is full. You are urged to sign-up early, as this outing fills fast. New club members should return their sign-up sheets, with a $175 check made payable to Paul DeJohn, after completing the school. New members have priority, first come - first served. Outing staff guides and mentors should also return their sheets and checks as early as possible.
WaWaSum Lodge is a historic log lodge and teaching facility owned by Michigan State University which sits high above the banks of the AuSable Holy Waters 6 miles east of Grayling. If you have never visited the lodge, you are truly in for a treat. The most popular feature of the lodge is the large screened porch with bentwood rockers which overlooks the river. The great room has a large fieldstone fireplace, ample seating, and an activity area for fly-tying. Guest rooms for your 4-night stay accommodate 3 to 4 guests each, and 3 beds on the screened porch will be available to those desiring semi-quiet.
Master Chef Mike and his helpers will provide great breakfasts on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, before our morning guided scouting trips, and wholesome lunches before our afternoon and evening of fishing on Thursday and Friday. Unlike outings in the past, dinner will not be served, but ample food will be available for you to "graze" following your fishing day. You also have the option of dining at one of the local restaurants.
The annual New Member Outing gives attending members an opportunity to visit and fish superior locations along the historic AuSable River, as well as provide a venue to become more acquainted with your fellow club members. The outing is not intended to be a fishing school, however you will indeed receive an education, good food, lots of laughs, and more confidence in your fly-fishing and fly-tying abilities.
