St. Paul Fly Tier’s Activities
Part of being a St. Paul Fly Tier is an opportunity to meet other fly tiers and fisherman, partake in social gatherings, and attend events that may or may not be sponsored by the club.
Club Meetings
Club meetings are being held at the VFW in North St. Paul (2483 7th Avenue East, St Paul, MN 55109). Meetings begin every Thursday at 7:30 PM. However, many arrive between 6:45 and 7:00 for food and drinks. See you then and there unless notified by email about an alternate location.
St. Paul Fly Tiers Program Nights
The St. Paul Fly Tiers Program Nights at are typically held on the first Thursday meeting of the month. These are nights on which we leave our bobbins and thread at home and invite guest speakers to share their expertise and experiences on topics related to fly fishing and fly tying.
Club Outings
Nearly every month from March to October, the club organizes a fishing outing. These fishing trips encourage new and old members to explore the wonderful fishing that the Twin Cities area has to offer. Several trips are scheduled for the entire weekend, while others are single day trips to areas near the Twin Cities. Club outings are for panfish, smallmouth bass or trout. We strive for excellent adventure and camaraderie with plenty of good food served to all that participate. More Info>
We are currently developing our 2026 outing calendar. We usually publish in early spring, So stay tuned.
Other Gatherings on the Horizon
From time-to-time our club is invited to local sports shows, tying events, and social events that members may want to participate in. While we’ll do our best to post the things we hear about, please make sure to check at our club meetings for the most up-to-date information. And of course if you hear of something that may be of interest, please make sure to drop us a note at our contact page.
