2023-24 Meeting Schedule
Wisconsin Smallmouth Alliance and the Badger Fly Fishers have resumed monthly meetings. The Thirsty Goat restaurant, 3040 Cahill Main, Fitchburg, will be our monthly meeting site. The Thirsty Goat offers a quiet room which will seat 50 people, excellent and affordable food, and a small bar in the room serving multiple refreshments. Meetings for both the WSA and BFF will begin with a social hour/dinner starting at 5:30pm and the general meeting starting at 6:30pm. Currently, we will be able to order off the menu and, as long as enough meals are ordered at each meeting, we will be able to continue this practice indefinitely. The alternative will be a buffet-style set up with fewer choices. Therefore, we encourage members to join us for dinner if it will work into your schedule. WSA and BFF meetings will occur on the first Wednesday of the month as listed below. Please note that the WSA and BFF meetings will alternate each month. We look forward to seeing you at our new home.
