Monthly Club Meeting
Rainland Fly Casters is switching things up this month! Instead of our typical club meeting, we’re bringing the 20th Anniversary Fly Fishing Film Tour (F3T) to Astoria on Wednesday, October 21st, at Fort George Brewery. Join us in the Lovell Showroom for an evening of incredible fly fishing films, wild fishing adventures, beautiful waters, and the stories that make us love this sport. Doors open at 6:00 PM, with the screening starting at 6:45 PM, and admission is free!
Whether you’re a longtime club member, a regular on the river, or just curious about fly fishing, this is a great opportunity to get together, meet some fellow anglers, and enjoy a night of fishing films with the Rainland Fly Casters crew. Grab some food and a beer at Fort George, bring a friend, and settle in for a night celebrating fly fishing and the adventures that come with it. No membership required — just come hang out and enjoy the show! We’ll see you Wednesday, October 21st, at Fort George Brewery, 1483 Duane Street in Astoria.
