1st Place - Largest Trout catch on the Fly 
2nd Place - Most Fish on the Fly


Base camp will be at the Fairview Campground which is right next to McNally's Fairview Lodge & Restaurant.

This Outing can be fished independently (but always good to have a buddy) or in small groups, with no guides. For those who have never fished the Kern River, consider hiring a guide for half/full day with a few members to split the cost. The Kern River Fly Shop is located in Kernville and has a wide selection of local water flies.

We are trying to plan an activity on the morning of Friday September 27 on how to read the Kern river water, structures, and entomology.

For members trekking out on Friday, there will be a campfire at one of the campsites to socialize and share fish stories. And, on Saturday folks can join fellow club members at McNally's for dinner or local craft beers on tap. There are many options in Kernville and along Mountain Highway 99 for lodging. If you aren't in the camping spirit, there is McNally's Fairview lodge and Corral Creek Lodge, but there are many more from budget motels to Inns.

Please register for the event and Saturday night dinner. If you will be staying at the Fairview Campsite, please register the campsite event so we can connect you with your fellow campers. Campsite reservations must be completed and paid at www.reservations.gov.
