Leader’s Line
April is the time of renewal. We have several fishouts in warmwater locales that are great opportunities for newbies. Rancho Seco and Cameron Park are great. Other locations that work are Greenstone, Rancho Murietta, and the pond near Folsom High School. Check out Google maps for other nearby bodies of water. The club has held great fishouts at Greenstone and Murietta in the past; if you can offer access, that would be a great service.
The Board of Directors will have several open positions that we hope to have candidates for. Nominations for President, Treasurer, and other members are needed. Please let us know if you want to help our club continue its fine work. Nominations are due in May so that voting can be held in June.
Let’s meet on the water.
