This month the Washington Council wants to welcome a new affiliated club, 4th Corner Fly Fishers of Bellingham (website: https://4thcornerfly.com/) . Join us in welcoming the gang at 4th Corner. Directors and members of Washington FFI appreciate your friendship and support. Tight lines to all!
FFI is playing a role at the Fly Fishing Show in February at Meydenbauer Center in Bellevue and the Washington Council wants you and your fellow club members to join us there. For the first time ever, FFI will host a reception at the show Saturday, Feb. 17 from 4:30 to 6 pm where FFI members and friends can gather to say hello and learn about a game-changing conservation strategy for Olympic Peninsula salmon and steelhead rivers. The $30 FFI ticket buys full day entry to the show plus the reception with savory snacks and a chance to win a new Thomas & Thomas 5wt fly rod and other quality gear. FFI also will host the Learning Center at the show where we will offer walk-in instruction on fly tying, knots and casting if space is available.

Every club has leaders that keep the club going and growing. Nominating those men and women for the annual Washington Council Awards program is a way to say thanks.
