We have a limited
amount of club equipment for newcomers to use, but encourage new members
to bring out their own wherever possible for suggestive and creative
criticism (where necessary) by our experts. Club members include children,
men and women of all ages. Family participation is encouraged.
Issued occasionally,
our popular bulletin, "The
Reel Thing" eagerly anticipated and read by our members and
others around the world, includes valuable information for
everyone. Of course, we organize and conduct several seasonal fishing
trips, as well.
The club also
operates the annual Scarborough Open Fly & Bait Casting Championships
and competes in regional, Canadian, North America, International and World
Championships, with our members having won over a thousand awards in the
twelve years since our club's inception.
In our club library,
we have well-stocked study and reading material including works written by
club member and popular author and Governor General's and Stephen Leacock
award winning writer, Paul Quarrington (see 'Fishing With My Old Guy') and
have done numerous television shoots for T.S.N., C.T.V., C.B.C., and
others. A number of former club members have done so well in the club that
they have used their newly-acquired expertise to change careers, going
into business for themselves, i.e. Fly Tying, Rod Building, Bass Pros,
D.N.R. affiliation, etc.
Deval's recently
added to the club's repertoire are his last two fishing and instructional
books, MEMORIES OF MAGICAL WATERS and BROOKIES, BROWNS AND 'BOWS.
