Senior Discount We offer senior discounts for on initiation fees for those 65 and over. Please call for details. Refund of Membership Fee Our goal is to have a membership which grows lasting friendships through fly fishing and has the common goal of creating the best fly fishing club in the United States. We can only achieve this goal by having committed members and a consistent revenue stream. Therefore, we do not refund any membership fees. A member may resign at any time and they will no longer be responsible to pay any further monthly dues or fees associated with the Club. Club Member Access to Preserves Member s access to our Club preserves varies depending on their membership level. For a list of the current Club preserves, please see our Fly Fishing Preserves on page four. Our portfolio will be updated each year. Guest Access Members are allowed to bring guests. All guests, fishing or not, are required to pay the daily guest fee. Members may bring an unlimited number of guests based on their ability to be scheduled into the reservation system. A non- member guest is allowed to visit the club a maximum of three times per year. The English Beat System All Lincoln Hills preserves operate on a beat system. A beat is a section of water between 1/3 mile and a 1/2 mile long that can serve between 1-3 people for four hours of fishing. When members schedule a trip through our on- line reservation system, they will be assigned a starting beat and a rotation beat (if scheduled for a full day). Members are notified of that beat by email 24 hours before their trip. The Club guide will have a list of the starting beats for each day. The general rule is to spend about four hours per beat. Anglers always move upstream to the rotation beat. If an angler finishes the last beat on a preserve, they then move down to the first beat for the rotation. Members must stay on their designated beats. This is a necessary component in our fisheries management program and allows us to rest certain sections of the river each day as well as allowing fellow club members to enjoy their assigned beat without competition. Scheduling The Club uses an on- line scheduling program accessible through the member s only section of our website. This section will have a current and up to date schedule available twenty- four hours a day pg. 2
seven days a week. Members can see all preserves that are available for them to make a reservation. Our website also offers members the ability to schedule a guide, should they so desire. Advisory Committee The Advisory Committee will be established in 2011. The committee consists of one chair and four at large members who are appointed by club ownership. The role of the advisory committee is to provide the membership a direct voice to ownership. pg. 3
