Diablo Valley Fly Fishermen offers many outings and at least one seminar throughout the year. Occasionally outings are under the direction of a professional guide, but in all cases, they will have a Fishmaster to organize and administrate the activity. The Fishmaster will be familiar with the area selected. Most outings consist of weekend trips with 8 to 12 people attending. Catch and release is encouraged. Club outings are, without a doubt, the best way to meet other members and develop a sense of belonging to the Club.

Outing participation is limited to current, paid-up DVFF members with a Release & Waiver of Liability on file. (Note that membership is a family membership includes both spouses and all minor children living at home).

Outings vary from short, single-day trips to multi-day trips. Single-day outings go to destinations within about a two and one-half hour drive from the Bay Area. Many multi-day outings are planned near a campground where members can camp together, socialize and share in activities. Participants have the option of making their own arrangements for staying in nearby lodges or motels. A few outings are scheduled in fishing lodges.

DVFF does not charge for nor make any money from the outings. Many times there will be fees if fishing on private waters, if paying a guide, and for lodging costs, etc. Of course, participants are expected to pay their share for meals, campsites, rides shared, etc.

Outings are planned well in advance and published in Windknots and on the Web site. The Outings Chairman is Jim McCombs, who may be reached or at (925) 672-0941. The duties of the Fishmasters can be found here.

The following is the current schedule of outings and seminars for the year. If there is additional and more detailed information in the DVFF Online Forum, there should be a link provided to the Outings Information & Update Category of the Forum. In some cases, if photos exist of previous outings to a destination, a link to the DVFF Forum Photo Album(s) might be found underneath the destination name.
