Club members and their guests will be fishing on Geneva during the day. This is our annual weekday DAY ON THE LAKE OUTING that we use to learn from one another. A large group of us will be fishing the same lake at the same time which allows members, and their guests, to learn from one another. Each boat provides a report for the day describing their success (and struggles). We learn what species were biting in terms of when and where plus what tactics and tackle were successful. Guests are welcome to join us at the meeting to learn from our fishing reports. Beverages and dinner will be available for purchase.
