This is one activity held each year that is a must for you. It is your chance to get some good deals and some great deals. There are raffle packages, silent auction, plus a regular auction. Everything from flies to guided fishing trips are offered. This is a good time to take care of your fishing needs. The Annual Auction is the main fundraiser for the club's donations to various conservation groups in Northern California, for a fisheries-related scholarship at UC Davis, and for other club activities supporting local charitable groups tied in some way to fly fishing.
Of course you need more stuff. Fly fishers and tiers can always use more stuff. Especially if it's good stuff. The stuff that is annually auctioned off at the Diablo Valley Fly Fishermen Annual Auction is typically great stuff. Even if it were to include items that one person might regard as trash, stuff to get rid of if for no other reason than to clean out the garage, in the eyes of another, especially a fly tier, it might be terrific stuff, with fabulous potential for dressing bits of forged and sharpened wire.
Mark April 17, 2018 on your calendar! And be sure to head to Walnut Creek Civic Park Community Center (1375 Civic Drive @North Broadway) for our best (and only) auction of the year!
