Welcome to the Austin Fly Fishers
A Member Club of the Federation of Fly Fishers
The Austin Fly Fishers is an Austin Texas fly fishing club open to anyone interested in fly fishing. We are a non-profit organzation concerned with conserving local waters and the wildlife that inhabit them, as well as promoting the sport and art of fly fishing. We actively support and contribute to various conservation efforts, charities, and youth programs, both nationwide, and in the Austin area. If you are not yet a member, and would like to learn more about the club, we invite you to attend one of our monthly meetings or participate in one of the many outings that we organize throughout the year.
Sixty Words on Saltwater Fly Fishing

"He stands motionless on a shallow expanse, glancing left, right. A flash, a swirl, the tide, maybe the wind. He walks, eyes on the sky. The sun bakes him, his feet are numb. Crabs flee from footsteps. Eight shapes leave the dark water on patrol gliding silent. 200 feet, 100, He bristles, the lead shape turns, time is stopped." —Geoff Schaakke
