2025 Trips / Events Update

DCFF has many trips scheduled throughout the rest of this year, but unfortunately, our June trips to The Pfeiffer Road Hatchery in Frankfort, Waterfalls Lodge in Canada, and the Cumberland River Trips are full. Please check the Trips Page for future opportunities.

In an effort to try some new activities for club members to attend, we are meeting up at the Louisville Cigar Company and Speakeasy on July 17th. Come by to enjoy a fine cigar and great bourbon. The event is limited to 12 participants, so if you are interested, please sign up here. Obviously you must be 21 to participate.

Fly Fishing 101

The July 30th “5th Wednesday Fly Fishing 101” session will cover “Things that you need to know” about fly fishing. We focus a lot on casting, fly tying and other aspects of the sport, but this session will focus on safety, as well as other things that will enhance your enjoyment of your trip. Please click here for more information. As always, these classes are open to the public, and at no charge. we welcome anyone who has an interest in learning more!

Fly Tying Sign Up List

The DCFF Education Department wishes to thank all of the volunteers who have tied this year, and for the tyers that have filled out our schedule for the rest of 2025! But 2026 is not that far out. So be thinking of fly’s that you would like to se demonstrated, or volunteer to help. Thanks again for all of the support.

DCFF Mentor Program

Remember when you were a novice fly fisher and wished you had someone you could call with questions or ask for advice? Maybe even head out to a local stream for a little one-on-one on-the-water time to try out that new rod or just learn a little about the fishing hole? Well DCFF is starting a mentor program to help newbies get started, but we need mentors. We are currently compiling a list of club members who are willing to be mentors. If you are interested in sharing your knowledge of fly fishing with someone new to the sport click here and scroll down to the Mentor Program paragraph to get more information and to sign up.

If you are interested in getting a mentor, please contact John Froehlich, our Education Director at jfroehlich@derbycityflyfishers.com

Items Needed

More than anything, we need volunteers. We need people to step forward and be willing to lead trips or help with our educational and community service activities and events.

New leadership personnel are always welcome to serve as an officer or on the board of directors. If you are interested in exploring the volunteer opportunities with DCFF, please contact the president or one of the other board members! You do not have to be an expert fly fisher to help run the club, and if you get involved, you will get the contacts you need to become a better fly fisher!
