Welcome!
The CSRA Fly Fishers was chartered in 1990. Since that time we have strived to include a diversity of anglers of all ages, including those interested in warm water, salt water and cold water fishing. Our members include experts in fishing local waters and those who have fished in many parts of the world. The goal of our organization is to provide a local community of anglers for the advancement of the art, education and conservation of fly fishing. We are an affiliated member of the Federation f Fly Fishers (FFF), the only organized advocate for fly fishers on a national and regional level.

There are numerous (mostly free) presentations and classes. We even have programs and events for your non-fishing significant others and kids.
On Friday night, we have teamed up with the folks at Little River TU to host the Back the Brookie BBQ. All profits from this event will support brook trout restoration in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park.
Immediately following the BBQ, we will be showing the Fly Fishing Film Tour in the Ramsey Center.
