2010 FFF Southern Council Nomination

Club of the Year

Dallas Fly Fishers

I am placing the Dallas Fly fishing Club in nomination for the Club of the Year award based on the performance of our outreach program. In the calendar year of 2009 the Dallas outreach program under the Leadership of Jere Anderson, Conservation and Outreach Chairman, as well as Richard Johnson, Education Chairman, introduced all aspects of Fly Fishing to almost 500 students.

The range of our educational endeavor included Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Senior Centers, Community Centers, and Two University classes in the Dallas area. Our students included:

  • Boy Scouts— Six troops— 240 students
  • Girl Scouts— one troup— 6 students
  • Fly Fish Texas— Fly fish Classes— 45 Students
  • Raptor Center— Fishing Classes— 30 Students
  • Turning Point— 30 Students
  • Senior Centers— 9 Students
  • Community Centers— 29 Students
  • Dallas Baptist University— Two Classes— 40 Students

We also held a number of classes for Casting for Recovery, Healing Waters but we don't have the actual student lists. Our Club has over 40 volunteers that take part in these sessions all organized by Richard Johnson and Taught by Jere Anderson.

I hope you will consider the work of the Dallas Fly Fishers for Club of the Year.

Thank You,
Charlie Ducote
President DFF
