Greg, good job, I think you explained that really well. I'm not a member of our local fly fishing club but I understand, like you explained, that they try to hold a fishout at least monthly, invite different celebrity fly fishermen to speak monthly on various topics like fly tying, fly fishing, locations, etc. They offer fly casting lessons and maybe fly tying lessons. As I understand it, they also have a raffle at their monthly meeting where you can buy tickets and have a chance to win a fly rod, or float tube, various accessories, fly boxes of flies, etc. And, of course, you get to meet and hook up with your fellow club members for outings and local fly tying sessions. For the membership fee, I'd say well worth joining, no question. Like any specialty club, there are going to be members who are real experts at various aspects of the sport, so it's a great opportunity to flatten out that learning curve in my opinion, and I would think you will learn about and fish waters that you otherwise might not. Hard to see where you could go wrong. If my hours weren't so screwy and I could make the monthly meetings on a regular basis, I would sign up quick, no question. Will probably do so anyway.
