On behalf of our members I welcome you to the web site of the ACT Fly Fishers. We hope that this site will give you some idea of what our club is about. To find out more about the club and the characters in it I invite you to attend a number of the club social meetings. The club meets at the Deakin Sports & Social Club, Grose St, Deakin. Social meetings are on the 1st Thursday and 3rd Thursday of each month and often include a presentation from a guest speaker. Meetings usually start at 7:30 pm and usually finish at about 9:30 pm.

Once again, welcome to the club's web site and it would be great to see you again at one of our social meetings.
