Join us at Rally Cap Brewing on Wednesday, April 17th, for this month’s brewery night.  F&F is an independent collective of tiers just looking to tie and enjoy a social gathering with some fine brews. While not affiliated with Red Stick, it was hatched by a few club members as an alternative to a traditional meeting environment. Everyone is welcome!

Keep an eye out for a follow up email with more details.

RSFF Sack Up for Clean Water
Saturday, June 22nd, 8:00am until
Where: Black Water Conservation Area , 9385 Blackwater Rd, Baker, LA

Join Conservation Chair, Robinson Almeida, and the rest of the RSFF gang as we head to the Blackwater Conservation Area for a morning of waterway cleanup and fly fishing.  With multiple ponds and access to the Comite River, there should be plenty of opportunities to wet a line along the way.

"Our love of fly fishing is not just about uncovering amazing locations; it’s also about taking responsibility for our environment. As our consumption increase so does the litter that finds its way onto our streets, into our infrastructure, ending in our waterways. RSFF is committed to educating and advocating for responsible practices to keep all of our favorite spots pristine.” -Conservation Chair, Robinson Almeida
