The Northwest Fly Anglers was formed in 1972, and grew at a rapid pace from the first meeting which was held at the Green Lake field house. The club has maintained a membership in the neighborhood of 120 to 150 people. The club was formed with the idea that this sport was for the whole family, most if not all of the other clubs at the time were either fraternal, were not accepting more members or both.
The founders of the NFA were teachers of the now almost forgotten art of crafting bamboo fly rods. This historic connection is symbolized in the NFA logo which is the cross section of a split cane rod and a mayfly.
The Northwest Fly Anglers is a club dedicated to education, service, conservation and support while pursuing the art of angling with a fly.
These ideals still prevail today with fly tying, rod building and casting classes, stream surveys, tree plantings and river cleanups, top name guest speakers, outings to local and long distance local streams and lakes, these are to name just a few. The club maintains a significant library of books and videos. We also have a “Fly Box”, which members contribute flies to, that can then be exchanged or purchased by members or guests at meetings.
The club was also founded and based on a strong participation from the membership which is why the club has been such a great success. This occurs at all levels as the membership is very diverse in its experience levels, from beginner to expert.
