TriValley Fly Fishers Has Room For You!
Tri-Valley Fly Fishers is a group of men and women interested in enjoying the sport of fly fishing.  We meet at 7:00 PM on the first Thursday of every month September through June at the Livermore-Pleasanton Rod and Gun Club (directions and map).   Our meetings feature a guest speaker who shares some of their knowledge of the sport with us - a great fishing destination, a little-known fly fishing method that has proved successful, or an aspect of the sport they have found enjoyable.  The evening ends with a raffle of those "must have" items of fly fishing gear. (Visitors are welcome to attend meetings and find out what LFF is all about.)

Outings:
Our Club has numerous fishing trips that all members are encouraged to enjoy.  Members who have enjoyed fishing various locations volunteer to coordinate these trips and provide information about the destination, accommodations (motels or campgrounds), successful fly patterns, etc.  Some local trips are as near as Putah Creek or Delta waters, others as far as the Eastern Sierra and Nevada.  Typically, the Club has at least one trip per month scheduled.

Special Events:
Family participation and camaraderie are developed at two annual dinners.  In January we hold the Installation Dinner where the newly elected slate of officers is announced and feted.  Later in the year, we enjoy the Fall BBQ.  The Club provides the main course and beverages, and the side dishes and salads are provided by the members and their spouses.

Fly Tying:
If demand warrants, we will resume our basic fly tying course.  A six-evening course will encompass basic entomology, the use of tools and "how to" tie the various life stages of the most common aquatic insects that comprise trout food.  To ensure close instruction, enrollment may be limited.

Casting Instruction:
Through a very enjoyable relationship with the Oakland Casting Club, we (individually or corporately) often visit the Oakland casting ponds where Federation-certified casting instructors generously donate their time to teach us how to put our flies where we want them to go on the water, rather than into the bushes or our ears!

Club Newsletter:
Our Club newsletter, The Barbless Hook, arrives at members' homes monthly to remind them of upcoming events, and to pass on new fly patterns and tips from members who have found a better way of accomplishing some aspect of the sport, from tying tips to casting techniques.

Annual Dues: $40.00  For more information, please contact the "Fishmaster" (aka: the webmaster).
