The Flycasters Fishout Sign-Up Fairness Doctrine
The Flycasters fishout program continues to be very successful with a full schedule of fishouts planned for 2026. The fishmasters and Board of Directors have been discussing how to provide a fair system for year-to-year rotations for attendees on our most popular recurring fishouts. After several meetings, the Board has approved a new fishout signup and wait list policy as described below.
· Fishmaster maintains a signup list and a waitlist.
· After fishout is completed, all attendees wanting to return next year are moved to bottom of waitlist (suggest random draw for their order at bottom).
· Fishmaster begins filling next year’s attendance by starting at top of waitlist.
· A deposit will be required to hold your spot on next year’s signup list, the amount and timing to be defined by the fishmaster.
· If openings remain after working through waitlist, then fishout opens to club wide announcements.
· Members wanting to attend a fishout in future, either this year or next year, are then encouraged to sign up on the waitlist.
· If a fishout does not recur the next year, it’s considered cancelled and will be handled the same as all new fishouts with open signups from club wide announcements.
In addition to improving fairness, it’s hoped this policy will help fishmasters have more visibility for member interest and members have a path to attend the most popular fishouts. Members should review the fishout schedule, and if you want to go on a fishout that is already filled, make sure you add yourself to the waitlist, you will get highest priority for the following year.
