With an uptick in COVID-19 cases, many states are extending Phase II guidelines, which strongly encourage social distancing. As a result, most clubs in the Gulf Coast Council will continue to suspend live meetings. As an alternative, some GCC clubs have been holding online meetings, and will continue to do so through July.
Fly Fishers International is also continuing our series of instructive live online discussions through the Zoom app (PC or mobile). These sessions are open to the public.
