You can help NCCFFI with the
Ah Di Na Campground Restoration Project

Volunteers needed! This spring, we will be working together with the US Forest Service and numerous other stakeholders to refurbish campground equipment and clear overgrown campsites and trails at AH Di Na on the McCloud River.

GCFF has committed to this project anywhere we can. The Board has committed to donate $250, and we will be "Passing the Net" at the April regular meeting. Please bring some cash to add to the net!

Our Board has also committed to help with the work sessions at the campground. Unfortunately, the first session, April 24-26 had to be cancelled due to snow and road conditions at the campground.

Click the link below for more information, to register for one or more of the work sessions, or to donate funds to the project.

Fly Casting Skills Development

The next FCSD session will be on April 19th at the Forest Charter School Playfield in Nevada City and is open to the community. If you would like to join the members of GCFF and develop your fly casting skills, no matter your skill level. From beginner to advanced. Please join us at this FCSD session on the grass at 625 Zion Street, Nevada City.

The FCSD Foundation level is a great starting place for those picking up a fly rod for the first time, or beginners with some fishing experience. You will learn the foundation of fly casting: loop formation and control. If you are interested in the Foundation level, please register for either the 10am or 12noon session.

You can also be recognized for your achievement. Check out the Achievement page.
