On Saturday, October 26, 10 am to 2 pm, the official opening of the Provo River Delta is celebrated by an Open House at the delta’s Skipper Bay Trailhead, north of 3400 Boat Harbor Drive!  BFF and HCFF was one of many volunteer groups that contributed to the project by cutting willow starts from the Middle Provo River banks in 2021 and 2022. 

This 260-acre project has restored the habitat for aquatic life at the entrance to Utah Lake.  The above link leads you to a short video that covers the history and objectives of the multi-million dollar project.

From the website, "Check out the new trailhead, wildlife viewing tower, and delta trails, listen to music, pet a horse and learn some local history and fun fish facts at information booths from organizations in our community and project partners, and connect with others who respect and appreciate our best restoration partner, Mother Nature!"

 BFF & HCFF will be represented at the Open House with some of our members tying their favorite flies.  

This is open to all. Drop on down and check out this amazing project members of our club worked hard to bring to realization.

On June 3-4-5, 2024, the club was represented as we taught Fly Tying, Casting, Fishing, and Archery to a group of youth from Taylorsville and South Jordan. We were invited to Brighton Meadows recreation camp, in the mountains North East of Park City.

Over the 3 days we worked with over 40 boys and 20 girls. Fred, BFF Club President,  provided the equipment and taught archery, while Robert Trim, Eric Luna (President of HCFF) and Bruce Pope, taught Fly Casting, and Fishing on the little pond at the camp. This proved to be more than the usual 'teaching newbies' challenge as a front was blowing through and winds were pretty much constant two of the three days. Couple of fish were landed, but it was a struggle.

Reid Hall, John Schultz , and Bruce Pope taught Fly Tying. Eric, Bruce, and John are members of High Country Fly Fishers, Reid is a past BFF member and a fishing partner with Robert and Fred. With the wind, tying was interesting to say the least. We're pretty sure there's marabou bits in Wanship now.

It was a great time, we were tired at the end of the day, but the feeling of sharing these sports we love with others, especially the youth, is rewarding. In reality the reason we have a club.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this a success.

Due to water conditions, the April Southern Idaho lakes and streams trip has been changed to a day trip to Mantua Reserviour. New information on the events calendar.

2024 brings changes on the board level for BFF. Fred Jepsen was elected and confirmed by the club membership as the new club President.

Robert Trim was voted in taking the Membership Chair position as well as heading up the revamp of new website for the club.

Congrats to both.
