Fly Fishers of the Bitterroot

Fly Fishers of the Bitterroot Fly Fishers of the Bitterroot: an independent, family oriented, fly fishing club. We are an exempt 501(c)(3) public charity.

All you need in order to join the Fly Fishers of the Bitterroot is 25 dollars and an interest in fly fishing, having fun, learning, and forming great friendships. You don't need to be an expert fly fisherman. The club puts on many clinics throughout the year for beginners and experienced anglers alike. Our main purpose is to share the love of fly fishing through education, conservation, and (of course!) going fishing.
