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.
In addition to meetings and outings, many club members enjoy weekly activities, such as the Brew-Tie Socials, held on the first Tuesday of each month at Ghost Runners (Vancouver) and the Winter Pond Coffee group that meets every Tuesday morning at 9:30 at Chuck’s in Salmon Creek.
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.
Fly-Tyers “Brew Tie” Night
This monthly no-host DIY fly tying with nibbles, brews, and camaraderie is a must for CSF tyers.
Come one, come all to tie some flies and drink a couple beers.
There will be a table available if anyone would like to display their hand-tied flies.
Bring a towel or other cover for the tables to make it easier to gather your tying waste and to prevent glue spots from reaching tabletops.
Ghost Runners is hidden inside a small industrial park so scout the access in daylight. Once found, it’s easy to locate but first search can be tricky. It’s located between St. Johns and Andresen, set far back on the north side of Minnehaha Street.
Bring your fly tying stuff, non tyers are also welcome.
Tyers will meet on the first Tuesday of each month until Spring. For details, please refer to The Broken Barb.

Introduction to Flyfishing School
Annual Bill Wiggins Memorial Introduction to Flyfishing School
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.
