The Russian River Fly Fisher Club has access for its members to some very special locations: a bass pond and two stretchs of the Russian River ... near Healdsburg and Asti. Access is restricted to members in good standing and a current car pass (purchased annually) is also required. Come to one of our meetings and learn more about these waters from our Fishing Access Chairman Tom Lynn and our Fishing Access Co-Chairman Don Price.
