Welcome

to the club!
For most of us in this fly fishing club, its not just about trout. TFF members fish the coast, local warm water creeks and lakes and cold mountain streams. We are waders, kayakers, floaters, boaters and fly tiers. Since we all cant get to the mountains or coast every weekend you will find TFF members on the local lakes like Jordan and Falls or casting to bass and carp in some ponds. You can also find us wading the Eno, Haw and other streams in the area every single weekend. NC has an enormous number of fly fishing opportunities and theres always someone in the TFF willing to provide information to help you get started on any of them. In addition to fishing, TFF undertakes volunteer conservation projects in the triangle and mountain regions. Members volunteer for stream cleanups, raise money to support other conservation projects and provide grassroots advocacy for conservation efforts. Membership: There are no TFF dues, just come to a monthly meeting and start participating. We do however encourage our members to join Trout Unlimited(TU) or the Federation of Fly Fishers (FFF). When joining TU, designate Chapter 345 (Triangle Fly Fishers)

Meetings
Triangle Fly Fishers' monthly meetings are held the last Monday of every month @ 7:00PM (except December) at the Durham County Wildlife Club (DCWC) in RTP off Hopson Road. See map on reverse. Every month we bring in professional guides from all over NC to speak about their home waters and wildlife representatives to talk about local programs and resources. Be sure to come a little early and stay a little late. Its the best way to make new friends Examples of past monthly speakers Orvis Guide, Seth Thompson on aquatic entomology
Jim Burchette on Striper Fishing at Kerr Lake John Martyn on False Albacore Kevin Howell, Top 10 Trout Flies for Western NC Phillip Gibson, Riverkeeper for the French Broad River
