Women's Fly Fishing Clinic
In August, club members introduce interested women to the basics of fly fishing, including equipment, aquatic entomology, reading the water, and casting. The seminar ends with a campout on one of the local trout streams, during which participants complete their instruction by fishing with club mentors. Participation is open to members and non-members alike. A nominal fee is charged to cover club expenses, including several meals during the camp out.

Conservation Projects
The club provides equipment and supervision for on-stream projects. Using the willing and eager muscle of Juvenile Corrections participants and supervision by Idaho Fish and Game, the club participates in stream bank re-vegetation. Individual members assist F&G in tagging of steelhead smolt.

Adopt-A-Highway-US 12
Once a year representatives of the club converge on Powell Campground to patrol and remove debris from a two mile section of Idaho State Highway 12 that the club has adopted. Members provide their own transportation and camping, and the club provides the main course for a potluck meal.

Other Instruction
The club complies with frequent requests from various groups, including local schools, for instruction in fly casting and fly fishing technique as part of their curricula.
