Rendezvous (Rondy) Program

The GGACC is proud to announce the Rendezvous (or Rondy) Program for 2025. These are group fishing trips (called "Rondies") for those active club members who are experienced fly fishers unless otherwise stated in the trip description, and wish to participate in these club-organized fishing trips for the companionship they offer and the opportunity to fish these venues. Experienced fly fishers are considered to be those who have done considerable fly fishing on their own without requiring guides or other necessary help.

Unlike the LTFF Program's educational outings (called "fish-outs", to distinguish them from the rondies), the rondies are not mentored outings. The rondy leaders have only organizational responsibilities for leading their groups, and not teaching duties. Please pay attention to any description regarding the requirement/experience expected for that event and make sure you're comfortable and confident in your abilities. Following last year we are running a lottery system helping to ensure a system that's fair and convenient for everyone.

Please note a couple of requirements: An active member is a member that has paid the annual club fees for the current year. You must have a fishing license and all permits for the location and species fished. Participants are expected to know and follow regulations for the locations fished.

The 2025 Rondy Program opens February 1st, 2025, at 8:00 am (i.e., when the Join the Waitlist button shows on the Calendar Event description page). Sign-ups for the Rondys will be on the Club's website under PROGRAMS > RONDY PROGRAM, and closes February 4th at 5:00 pm. You will sign up on the Waitlist for those events you'd like to register for, and everyone on each waitlist will be entered into a lottery for the available slots and winners will be notified and invoiced by email to secure their spots. We ask that you only sign up for trips you're truly interested in given the amount of administrative work required for each trip.

Winners will be invoiced and notified by email on the evening of February 5th and will need to finalize confirmation and payment by February 7th at 5:00 pm. After that time, open spaces will be filled from the waitlist according to the lottery priority. The next in line will be notified and invoiced by email on the eve of February 7th with payment due February 9th at 9:00 am. Unfilled spots will then be open to the waitlist on a first come first serve basis following an announcement via email of the open registration.

There are no refunds. In the event that a member is, for any reason, unable to attend, he may resell his slot (rod) to another GGACC member (by first pulling from the waitlist if one exists). It is the sole responsibility of the member to manage this transaction. This is not the responsibility of the leader or club. See the links under this tab for the list of all Rondies currently shown on the club's calendar.

We'd like to thank all past and current Rondy leaders for their time and effort given to providing support and leadership on these trips; their help and time are invaluable. If you wish to lead a future trip or have an idea you'd like to present as one, please reach out to the committee; we'd love to have you!

As a final note, the greater goal of this program is to encourage a community within the club that provides a network of fishing opportunities with others by one's own agency. This program is a seed and we sincerely hope you take advantage of the people you meet, the experiences and knowledge gained and continue playing that forward. Ultimately, we all arrive together at a larger table.

Once again, it's imperative for the smooth operation of this lottery process that you actively monitor your emails for the week and respond accordingly.

Feb. 1st @ 8:00 AM  -  Lottery opens

Feb. 4th @ 5:00 PM  -  Lottery closes

Feb. 5th evening  -  Lottery winners are notified and invoiced

Feb. 7th @ 5:00 PM  -  Payment due to secure your spot

Feb. 7th evening  -  2nd round winners notified and invoiced

    Dates:  June 20 - 22, 2025

    Leader:  Matt Didden matthew.didden@gmail.com

    Number of anglers (including leader):  6

    Description:  This Tahoe Rondy is a non-guided trip to fly fish the Truckee and/or Little Truckee Rivers. The Truckee River is the only outlet for Lake Tahoe. It leaves the lake near Tahoe City and continues along Hwy 89 to the town of Truckee. From there it follows I-80 northward towards Reno. The Little Truckee River is a tailwater that starts from the outflow of Webber Lake and fills two reservoirs, Boca and Stampede, prior to emptying in the Truckee River.

    We will meet late morning on June 20 at Trout Creek Outfitters in Truckee for an initial meet up and fish the afternoon. There will be campsites reserved at Boyington Mill Campground located along the Little Truckee River. Participants can choose to stay at the campground or find their own accommodation. Morning of June 21 and 22 we will meet at the campground to discuss fishing locations, tactics, and break into groups. The Truckee and Little Truckee both have heavy usage and smaller groups will make the experience more enjoyable for everyone.

    There will be a virtual pre-meeting to discuss fishing locations, logistics, carpool, gear, fly selection, shared supplies, etc. The date for this pre-meeting will be in May at a date to be set later.

    Suggested Gear:  4-6 wt single handed fly rods, 3-4 wt trout spey

    Rondy:  North Fork Stanislaus River Backpack

    Dates:  August 1-3, 2025 

    Location: North Fork of the Stanislaus River - 3.5 hour drive East of the Bay Area

    Leader:  John Anderson    mailto:jca35otl@gmail.com

    Number of anglers (including leader):  7

    Description:  The goal of this trip is for anglers to backpack into a majestic river canyon and fish for wild trout in an area that gets very little fishing pressure. This two-night backpacking trip starts Friday at 12 noon with a 4 mile drive down a steep 4X4 dirt road to a trailhead and then a 5 mile hike down into the North Fork of the Stanislaus River Canyon. There are no maintained hiking trails in this area, so anglers will have to do some bushwacking (long pants and walking/wading staff recommended). The camp site is located on the river and overlooks a 100 yard pool that holds some nice trout. There is a surplus of firewood, so we can have a camp fire unless there are fire restrictions. We will camp at the same site for two days.  

    Skills Needed: This rondy involves a challenging hike down a steep river canyon so participants should be experienced backpackers and fly fishers and fit enough to climb in and out of a 1000' canyon with backpacking and fishing gear. The hike should take about 3 hours each way. Participants will need backpacking and fly fishing gear and be prepared to camp for a weekend. There will be a pre-trip meeting to discuss the needed gear and other logistics (date tbd).  

    Suggested Gear:  2-5 wt single handed fly rods, with floating lines. 

    Cost:  The fee for this Rondy is $25  

    Other expenses will include your own transportation and food/supplies. 

    Cancellation Policy:  There are no refunds.  In the event that a member is, for any reason, unable to attend, he may resell his slot (rod) to another GGACC member (by first pulling from the waitlist if one exists).  It is the sole responsibility of the member to manage this transaction.  This is not the responsibility of the leader or club.

    Rondy: Desolation Wilderness Backpacking

    Dates:  August 14 - 17, 2025 

    Leader:  Matt Didden - matthew.didden@gmail.com

    Number of anglers (including leader):  6

    Description:  This Sierra Tahoe Rondy is a 3-night backpacking trip to fly fish the headwaters of the American River watershed located west of Lake Tahoe. This Rondy is limited to 5 experienced backpackers (6 including the leader).

    The plan is to thru-hike from Eagle Falls trailhead to Pyramid Creek trailhead, an approximately 20 mile hike with 4,200 feet of elevation gain. Each day we will hike 5-7 miles to a new campsite. Likely camp locations will be Middle Velma Lake, Susie Lake, and Lake of the Woods. There will be opportunities to fish these and more than a dozen other lakes. The elevation ranges from ~6,500’ to ~9,000’, with one pass to cross (Dick’s Pass, 9,400 feet).

    We will meet at Pyramid Creek trailhead off Highway 50 mid-morning of August 14 and shuttle to Eagle Falls trailhead (~30 minute drive). There will be a virtual pre-meeting to discuss logistics, carpool, gear, fly selection, shared supplies, etc. The date for this pre-meeting will be in May at a date to be set later.

    You must be an experienced backpacker and have the ability to hike with your pack up to 7 miles a day on rough trails. The leader is an experienced backpacker. However, the expectation is that all participants in this Rondy will be self-sufficient. You will need all the normal backpacking gear to take care of yourself on the trail. We may share some gear such as stoves, water filters, etc. Temperatures can vary with warm days and cool, sometimes very windy, nights. Pack accordingly for all conditions!

    Suggested Gear:  4-6 wt single handed fly rods

    Cost:  The fee for this Rondy is $25. Other expenses will include your transportation and food/supplies. 

    Cancellation Policy:  There are no refunds.  In the event that a member is, for any reason, unable to attend, he may resell his slot (rod) to another GGACC member (by first pulling from the waitlist if one exists).  It is the sole responsibility of the member to manage this transaction.  This is not the responsibility of the leader or club.

    Description:  This Eastern Sierra Rondy is a 4-night backpacking trip to fly fish a small watershed located on the Northeast border of Yosemite. This Rondy is limited to 4 experienced backpackers (5 including the leader). We will fish mostly lakes along with the flows between the lakes. The loop trail is about 10 miles with several lakes along the route. The fishing will be mostly casting from the lake shores with some “wet” wading.

    The plan is to meet at the trailhead at Saddlebag Lake off Highway 120 late morning of August 28,  and hike into Cascade Lake and make camp. We may move our camp for 1 or more nights. Sept.1 we will hike out. The elevation is about 10,000’ the whole way with small areas of elevation gains and loss.  Acclimating to the elevation will be the biggest challenge. Pack light!  At this time of year, it gets cold at night so pack accordingly!

There will be opportunities to fish with dries, nymphs, and streamers.

    Rondy:  Deschutes River 

    Dates:  October 19-21, 2025

    Leader:  Libby Wolfensperger  mailto:elwolfensperger@me.com

    Number of anglers (including leader):  8

    Description:  This Rondy is a 3-day guided float and wade fishing adventure on the lower Deschutes River in central Oregon, where we will fish for native summer Steelhead and "Red side" Rainbow Trout.  Guides will take us through miles of gorgeous, remote canyon. Periodically we'll take out to wade-fish nymphs or swing flies (no fishing from the drift boats).  Each evening we'll and stop and camp (it's really glamping - glamour camping) at amazing sites, where we'll enjoy top notch food served in a dedicated dining tent.   

    The trip will both begin and end in Bend, Oregon, at the Confluence Fly Shop, where we will meet our guides, get licenses, boat passes, pick up some flies, and park our cars (guides will shuttle us from the shop and back). We will put in near Madras (about an hour north of Bend) and then take out 3 days later near Maupin.  Our guides will be http://www.deepcanyonoutfitters.com/

    Bend, OR, is about an 8-1/2 hour drive from San Francisco. There is an airport in nearby Redmond for those who prefer to fly.  We should plan on arriving a day early and staying over the night after the Rondy.

    There will be a pre-meeting to discuss more logistics, gear, carpools, etc. (date tbd).

    Suggested Gear:  5-7 wt single-handed rods with floating lines or 6-7 wt two-handed rods, studded boots, and wading staff.  Anglers must also supply their own sleeping bags, pillow, personal items, liquor (if desired), and Oregon fishing license and boater's pass. Guides will supply very nice standing room tents, with cots and sleeping pads.  Note that wading on the Deschutes can be tricky due to the large angular basalt rocks, and that there is no fishing from the boats.  You must be prepared to wade confidently.  

    There will be a dedicated gear boat that will haul our gear, set up camp, and cook great meals. Personal items that are only needed in camp can be packed in a large dry bag to be supplied by the guides and transported in the gear boat.  Bring your own small dry bag (or waterproof pack) with a change of clothes, rain jacket, fleece, and any small personal items that you may want to keep handy during the day in your boat.  

    This is an amazing multi day float at a great price.  It is open to both single hand and two hand casters.  Most anglers enjoy a little of both on this trip.

    Cost:  The fee for this Rondy is $1,878.00 which includes Boat Pass and Fly Package

    Other expenses: will be guide gratuities, transportation to and from Bend, and lodging the nights before and after the trip. 

    Cancellation Policy:  There are no refunds.  In the event that a member is, for any reason, unable to attend, he may resell his slot (rod) to another GGACC member (by first pulling from the waitlist if one exists).  It is the sole responsibility of the member to manage this transaction.  This is not the responsibility of the leader or club.

    The nearest town is Weaverville which is conveniently located within 30 mins of the river. There are several lodging and dining options to make for an enjoyable two-night trip if you so desire.

    The trinity is a beautiful place with a fish of a lifetime waiting for your fly!
