Why become a club member?
Learn more about the club:
You don’t have to know how to fly fish! Just bring your enthusiasm. We are a group who get together and talk about fly fishing and plan trips. It’s just about the enjoyment of the outdoors, conservation, and fishing. Annual dues are only $15 individual and $20 family. There are currently no in-person club or fly tying meetings due to COVID-19, however we still have virtual activities.

No fly fishing equipment? We can help get you started.
Don’t have enough equipment for you or your youngsters? Our club members will be glad to help you get started by lending equipment and helping you make decisions on equipment to purchase. The club has several 5-weight 7 1/2 foot fly rod and reel combs and 1 8-weight 9-foot fly rod combo available to check out and use. This program is designed to give the young members of the club a chance to use a rod that is a bit shorter and youth friendly. We have 5 combos and anyone interested in checking one out please see Jon Thames. The rods are available now for the upcoming season on a first come basis.
We also have an 8 weight rod, ideal for any member wishing to try a larger rod on the Bay or any of the larger waters in the area. This rod is normally checked out for 1 or 2 weeks at a time to allow more members a chance to use it. Contact us if you are interested in learning more.
