Club Formation
A key purpose of the Saskatchewan Fly Fishing Federation (SFFF) is to promote the sport of fly fishing in Saskatchewan. One of the ways in which we do this is by helping interested individuals start a fly fishing club in their own Saskatchewan community.
​
Perhaps the premier benefit of forming a local fly fishing club is the resulting fellowship that inevitably seems to develop. The existing clubs have proven themselves to be organizations where like-minded individuals gather. Together they share experiences, knowledge and stories that can then be put into practice on local lakes and streams. Club fish outs or fishing trips are something that clubs often do. These outings are some of the best places to develop you skills and often serve as a great place for mentorship. ​
​
Some of the community minded activities our clubs participate in include:
-
Assist fisheries personnel with fish stocking,
-
Fly tying, casting and entomology lessons to school groups,
-
Improving access to local lakes,
-
Provide free fly tying and casting sessions to the general public at events such as trade shows, provincial park celebration etc,
-
Test netting, winter oxygen testing and trail clearing that will assist fisheries personnel in stocking new lakes,
-
An annual “Fly Fishing Jamboree” that brings in Big Name Speakers from across North America to talk about fly fishing in general,
​
The SFFF Can Provide The Following:
​
-
Assistance with the process and paperwork involved in registering a club as a Saskatchewan non-profit organization.
-
Electronic copies of existing Saskatchewan fly fishing club by-laws in a “boiler plate” format that makes it very easy to insert a chosen club name and make any other changes required for your specific needs.
-
Members of an existing fly fishing club to come to your community and make a presentation on fly fishing in Saskatchewan, perhaps at an informational/formation meeting or if the club exists they could attend and give a talk at a general meeting.
-
From time to time we may be able to provide a guest speaker to help maintain interest and/or assist as a learning guide.
-
Fund raising ideas.
