How
Do I Become A Member?
The Osprey
Flyfishers of B.C. is a fly fishing club whose objectives
are:
- To
bring together those individuals interested in the sport
of fly fishing.
-
To create within the club, a spirit of fellowship and co-operation
through active participation in fly fishing and in programs
supporting all aspects of fisheries conservation and quality
angling recreation.
 With
regard to the above objectives, the club has adopted a policy
of controlled membership growth. Growth is
monitored and decided upon by the membership, annually. The
club generally votes in favor of active fly fishers who are
willing and eager to participate in the affairs and operations
of the club.
Your participation in club activities is expected
if you wish to become a sponsored guest. Your first step will
be to complete the Guest Registration & Sponsorship Form
and return Part 1 to the club secretary, who will ensure that
your name is added to the club phone list and e-mail list
as a Registered Guest.
Keep Part 2 (the second page) as you will use this
to record the meetings, methods sessions and fish-outs that
you attend. Most importantly you will use it to record the
name of your member sponsor and the date you were sponsored.
As a guest of the Osprey Fly Fishers you are entitled to attend
all regular meetings, method sessions, fish-outs. You will
also receive a copy of the newsletter by e-mail.
A registered guest, after acquiring one sponsor, must attend
two regular meetings and two fishouts in order to be eligible
to be voted on at the next closed meeting.
You must obtain a sponsor within one year of attending your
first club function. This
will give you plenty of time to meet the requirements and
to decide if the club is what you want.
Upon meeting the requirements for membership, your membership
application will be considered at the next closed membership
meeting (either April or November). Your sponsor
will be expected to speak on your behalf regarding application
for membership.
You are welcome and indeed encouraged to participate in our
monthly club fishing trips, method sessions and other activities.
Fish with, and get to know, as many members as possible. When
it comes time to vote, members will not feel they are voting
for someone they hardly know.
As a guest of the Osprey Fly Fishers you will be entitled
to attend all regular meetings, method sessions and fish-outs.
However, as a guest you cannot vote on club matters or attend
the closed meetings, which are held in April and November.
Your ongoing participation is expected in order for you to
keep abreast of current club events and the operations of
the club.

Registration and Sponsorship Form is available
