2025 Trips

These are the planned trips for 2025. Trip coordinators are finalizing details so there may be changes. We should have all trips finalized by late January 2025. Please use for your planning purposes. Links will be activated for individual trips when details have been finalized. Click on active links (underlined red) to access trip details and the sign-up link.

Additional trips may be considered, and will be added if approved. Please contact our Trip Coordinator, Mike Norris trips@derbycityflyfishers.com if you would like to volunteer to coordinate a trip.

* For insurance purposes, participants in club trips must be members of Derby City Fly Fishers and have a signed Liability Waiver on file.

** All costs are based on the best information available at the time of publication of the trip.  Any subsequent price increases will be communicated as soon as the Club is aware of them. Participants will be responsible for any price increases.  Trip coordinators will determine the best method for handling payment of the increase

*** All DCFF club trips are subject to cancellation.

For those of you waiting for the fall North Caroline trip to go live on the website I want to give you a quick update.  The club is planning to continue our long tradition of our fall trip to North Carolina but we are holding off committing to a final date until we learn what the fall stocking schedule looks like from the state of North Carolina.  After the 2024 hurricane devastated parts of Western North Carolina the state has modified some stocking locations and stocking dates.  Once we know the final schedule, we will pick a date and send out notification immediately.

5-9, Green-Sullivan State Forest & Shakamak State Park, Jasonville, IN
