Veteran's Fishing

Our Salute To Your Service
Picture

Each June, AFA organizes a day of fishing for our veterans. In coordination with our local Elks Club, fishing and a dinner is offered to any veteran who wishes to enjoy an outing on the lake and the camaraderie. Mark your calendar for the Saturday following Father's Day in June.

Since its beginning in 2016, this has become the premier veteran's fishing event in Northern California.
Sign-ups for the 2026 Veteran's Fishing Event will begin in January 2026
