Note: Click on the illustration on each listing for general information on the event.
Even more detailed outing reports can be found in The Broken Barb, the club’s monthly newsletter, beginning with the January issue.
Membership meetings are held the third Wednesday of the month from 6-9 PM, with the exception of July and August. Meetings feature a social program, fly-tying demonstrations and a program on fishing or conservation. Non-members are welcome to attend. A club picnic is scheduled each summer.
Fishing outings are held year-round throughout the Pacific Northwest and include both fresh- and saltwater events for all skill levels from the beginning flyfisher to the grizzled veteran. Members are happy to introduce those new to the sport to the joys of angling with a fly. For those new to the area, it is a great way to learn new waters and fisheries.
CSF supports flyfishing education including our courses “Introduction to Flyfishing” and “Introduction to Fly-Tying” as well as our monthly fly-tying get-together.
Working with our conservation partners, CSF volunteers perform habitat restoration, stream enhancement and fishery surveys. Our annual membership banquet raises funds used to support conservation projects, including stream access throughout the Pacific Northwest.

Spring Casting Clinic
CFS Spring Casting Clinic
Host: Mark Meyer
Join us this spring for our season-opening casting clinic. Blake Reimer, of Discovery Fly Fishing, will be the class’s lead instructor. Bring your rod(s) and get one-on-one instruction on single-and two-hand tackle to help you tune up your casting. All ages are invited, and admission is free and open to the public.

Beginning Flyfishing School
Annual Bill Wiggins Memorial Introduction to Flyfishing School
Sorry, this event is sold out.
Host: Peter Anderson
Class Size: Forty (40) students; first come/first served. Open to the public.
Fee: $50 per person includes lunch and refreshment breaks in the morning and afternoon. This is a perfect class for aspiring fly anglers of all ages.
Class Purpose and Description: Each year, Clark-Skamania Flyfishers offers Introduction to Flyfishing, an all-day school with classes that provide students with instruction in all aspects of flyfishing, including tackle, accessories, knots, casting, entomology, streamside safety and etiquette. Each subject is taught by experts whose valuable experience has been gained over decades in the field. Casting instruction is provided by a highly experienced casting instructor and is supplemented by one-on-one instruction from volunteer instructors who provide a hands-on approach to learning this enjoyable sport.
This school is arguably the best value and most comprehensive class of its kind in the region. If you have your own tackle, be sure to bring it along. There is no better way to become familiar with your equipment than to use it under the guidance of skilled instructors. If you do not yet own any fishing gear, we make every effort to provide equipment to each student registered for the class.
