The Great Summer Outing is a fantastic event designed especially to help beginning fly fishers to get started fly fishing the Eastern Sierra. But even experienced seasoned members can join in the fun. Check out the line-up of volunteer and professional activities. Register for the social Dinner and those events that you qualify for. Note that a few are specifically encouraging beginners. Others are planned for more advanced anglers. Many are open to all. Or, don't register for any of the activities, but come and fish some of your favorite Sierra spots and get together with friends for meals and campfires.
Registration
The annual social Dinner on Saturday evening is an absolute MUST DO! Join in with friends and share fish stories, bear stories or talk about your lawns back home. The social Dinner activity under the GSO event on the calendar will list prices and provide contact information.
Review the activities and check those that you want to do. Make sure that your selected activities don't overlap as it's rather difficult to float tube Crowley while casting dry flies on the Dana Fork. If you have difficulties, you may contact the activity leader listed on the Event Calendar for additional information.
About our professional guided clinics
Our paid pro-clinics all use professional fly fishing guides. You can check out their bio's at the web sites referenced on the Event Calendar. There is a charge of $75 for each student for these clinics. You can pay online when registering.
About our volunteer "activity leaders"
Other than the pay clinics, the rest of our activity leaders are volunteers. None are paid, certified, or licensed. They volunteer their time and knowledge purely for the love of our sport and their genuine desire to help our members and guests enjoy fly fishing.
Go to the Event Calendar for July and look at the great fishing activities we have planned for the GSO this year. Mark your schedules for this year's GSO July 16-19.
If available, we normally hold a Pre-Outing Workshop for this event on the Saturday two weeks before the GSO. Several of our experienced volunteer leaders will be present to answer questions and help beginners get set for the outing. Check the July Event Calendar for time and location.
