If You Love Flyfishing, You’ll Love It Here
If you’re chasing a community of people who love flyfishing as much as you do, you’re in the right place. We share in each other’s flyfishing journey and keep the waters pristine for the next generation.
Become a VFFA Member
The VFFA has been around for more than 90 years, and in that time it’s become a bit of an institution — the place where keen flyfishers gather, swap stories, learn a thing or two, and generally enjoy the good life on and off the water. It’s not stuffy, it’s not pretentious — it’s just a bunch of keen flyfishers who genuinely enjoy hanging out together and doing things properly.
We’ve got around 200 members these days, and because membership is by nomination, the club stays full of people you’d happily spend a day on the river with — and just as happily have a beer with afterwards. It’s not about packing the room. It’s about the right crew, the right vibe, and keeping the culture strong.
Members get access to fun social nights at the Kelvin Club, well orgainised fishing trips, casting and tying sessions, guest speakers, and a steady flow of fishing chat online to keep the stoke up between tripd. We also care about the places we fish — speaking up for the rivers and doing our bit to keep them healthy.
If you love flyfishing and good people, you’ll feel right at home here.
To apply for membership with the VFFA, you’ll need both a proposer and a seconder who are existing full members. If you’re keen to join but don’t yet know anyone in the Association, we’d still love to hear from you — just reach out via our contact form and we’ll invite you along to a prospective members’ event so you can meet the crew.
