Event Description: South Fork of the Stanislaus River
Tag Along Day Trip to the SF of the Stanislaus with Gary Prince and Rob Farris
Tuesday, July 12th leaving at 6:30 AM from Gary’s house in Pleasanton
A full fishing and very flexible day up highway 108 beyond Sonora. We’ll be starting in the Fraser Flat CG area and using the Sugar Pine Railroad right of way path to fish upstream. I’ve never fished it before so it is just as much of a scouting trip as a fishing one. If we decide to move on we’ll move over to any number of other opportunities in the area including Clark’s Fork or up at Kennedy Meadows. It’s primarily Euro Nymphing or dry fly water so come prepared accordingly.
This is a Tag-Along so there is no Fishmeister or instruction, and you will need to be self-contained and capable of fishing on your own, although you’ll be with at least Gary and I.
If you decide to join us please sign up on the web Event so that we know to expect you are Gary’s by 6:30 before we leave.
Tri Valley Fly Fishers
COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Protocol
TVFF Outings Policy as of September 20, 2020
As a club, the Tri Valley Fly Fishers have developed and agreed to a set of required guidelines, protocols and rules in order to help direct our members on ways to stay safe day, multi-day outings, or individual “Tag-Alongs”.
These protocols were developed by the TVFF Board of Directors as well as input from other local clubs which included a member virologist, various safety committees, and member experts. We feel that these protocols and guidelines are consistent with public health information and experts. These protocols are assured, observed, and enforced by outing leaders as well as members themselves. Extra masks, spray disinfectant and sanitizer are available from the outing leaders.
Please note that the Tri Valley Fly Fishers accepts no liability for inadequate protection or the transmission of Covid-19 among members or guests. Therefore, each member should review the following protocols that the Club subscribes to and make an individual decision of whether to participate in an activity or not, based upon their individual circumstances and personal safety.
TVFF Outings protocols are as follows:
· If you are sick with cold/flu symptoms then we ask you to please stay home
· All attendees should drive up and back alone unless you are in mutually agreed social bubble where both parties have been tested negative and agreed to the risk (such as family members)
· We believe in social distancing and require that all members keep a full fly rod distance of at least 6’ distance between parties
· We ask that all parties wear masks if within 6’; even if only briefly. Note that the CDC has not recommended the use of buffs or gaiters as the material is not thick enough for adequate protection.
· Everyone will be responsible for making, bringing, and consuming their own separate food and drinks
· When camping all members and guests are required to use separate camping tents or rooms, when hotels are arranged
· Please handle your own gear (and your own fish!) only. No sharing for doctored fish pictures.
· In the event that there are common surfaces (i.e. car surfaces, door handles, etc.) please wipe them down with sanitizer or hand wipes
· All attendees should wash and sanitize their hands frequently
TVFF Cancellation Policy:
To sign-up for a TVFF Event that is currently open for registration and chargeable (as set by the Fishmeister), you must both register and pay online, or via check or cash, within two weeks of registering (sent to the TVFF Treasurer) whatever fee is described for that particular Event (trip) at the time of registration. There may be multiple payments required before the trip is actually taken (usually in the case of expensive trips), but it is necessary that you do make payment in the above timely fashion for the initial amount to secure your position on the trip. However, please note that you are still responsible for the entire amount of the trip if you should need to cancel.
Once you are registered, there are no refunds for chargeable Events and trips. In the situation that a member is, for any reason unable to attend, they may resell their registration slot to another TVFF member (by first pulling from the waitlist if one exists). New participants must come first from the waitlist in the order they signed up. The member cancelling is fully and solely responsible for contacting potential members to replace them and notifying the appropriate Fishmeister.
If an event/trip is fully registered and closed to registration, you may still sign up on the Wait List to be notified if there are any cancellations. In such a case of registering provisionally on the Wait List, you do not have to pay until such time that you clear the Wait List and are confirmed for participation.
