Instructional & Educational Programs
Fly-Tying Classes are one of the most popular activities in the club. Volunteers run
the classes for three months during the winter. Every Monday evening, the clubhouse
is packed with seasoned and novice fly-tyers from five to over eighty years of age.
It's a wonderful evening for parents and their children, an opportunity to tell tall
tales of fish caught, or listen to the experts reveal their secrets.
Monday evenings in the winter kindle the interest in fly fishing and develop tomorrow's
sportsmen. The island's future generation of fly fishermen is here.
The classes are open to the public.

Held throughout the spring and summer at the club, these clinics give novice and
experienced fly fishermen the opportunity to learn from the club's professional
fly fishing instructors. The clinics are held on the club's two fly casting ranges.
A selection of fly rods, tackle and other gear is available. It's a great way to
learn how to cast a fly rod and catch striped bass, blues and bonito on flies.
The Saltwater Fly Fishing Clinics are open to the public.
