2025 Trips Update

Our trip to Shakamak State Park / Greene Sullivan in Jasonville Indiana is behind us and what a fun trip it was. lots of good weather and even though the fishing was slow, we all had enough for two fish fry’s. Thanks to Joe G. for stepping up to lead the trip, and to Mike N. for all of the cooking. We will be updating the spreadsheet with location details. To see pictures from the trip, click here.

On a disappointing note, due to the high water conditions, the Green River Trip has been canceled. Notifications to the participants have been sent out. Keep an eye ou for this trip to possibly be rescheduled in the fall.

***New Day Trip Announcement***

Fly Fishing 101

The April 30th “5th Wednesday Fly Fishing 101” session was well attended and the class learned the basics of fly tying tools and tied a “Woolly Bugger” fly as a sample of what you can make. We will have information posted soon on our next class on July 30th. To see some pictures from the previous classes, click here.

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
