Who are the Fly Fishers of Davis?

Fly Fishers of Davis is a 100+ member club that is dedicated to teaching
people about fly fishing, swapping yarns about fishing, sponsoring fly
fishing outings, conservation and generally enjoying the fine art of fly
fishing.
 

How often does the club meet?

With the following exceptions the club meets at 7:30 p.m. on the last Tuesday of each month, usually at Holmes Junior Hi, 1220 Drexel Dr.

• In February we hold our annual dinner and fund raiser (on a Saturday).
• In June we hold an annual picnic at a local park.
• We don't meet at all in August.
• In December we usually meet earlier in the month to avoid conflicts with the holidays.

Never! (Though, as highly trained proud professionals we never admit it.....)

The club is run by an all-volunteer and very wise board
of directors</a>, who hold their high-level meetings at the homes of board
members and never get distracted from the business at hand. 

Membership forms are available at the meetings. Look for our membership
chairperson. He'll gladly sign you up and relieve you of any excess financial assets! You can also find a membership form at this site, print it out and either bring it with you to a meeting or snail-mail it to:
