What We DO
Fly Fishing
As a club we participate in many fly-fishing outings, whether that is our Annual Salmon Outing or Wednesday evenings in the summer.
Fly-Tying
SJRVFF offer classes from beginner to advanced. Our members over the years have donated over 100,000 flies through our Tie-a-Thon Program.
Conservation
We work hard to protect the waterways we love to fish. Projects include improvement of fish habitation, monofilament recycling initiative and more.
Events
Through our membership we are able to bring in industry leading speakers. Come learn from the best guides, fisherman, and scientists!
Our Mission
The Major emphasis of the St. Joseph River Valley Fly Fishers club will be directed toward cultivation and advancement of the art and science of fly fishing, conservation and restoration of rivers and lakes, and public education programs that will broaden the understanding of the delicate balance that shapes our fresh water environment.
The St. Joseph River Valley Fly Fishers are affiliated with the Federation of Fly Fishers, a national organization for fly fishers. This affiliation gives our club members an opportunity to participate at local, regional and national levels with others interested in the advancement of fly fishing and the conservation and restoration of our nationʼs waterways.
