What do the meetings involve? The meetings start at 6:00 p.m. with a social hour followed by a speaker or film. What is the members fishing background? Some are long time salt water fly fisherman. Some
come to the area with fresh water experience and are interested in learning about salt water fly fishing. Others have never done any fly fishing but are interested in learning more about the sport. SIFF offers fly casting clinics, a year-round tournament, socials, monthly fly-tying classes, a mentor program and a wading clinic. Do I have to have a boat to participate?
