Salty Flyrodders of New York are an affiliate club of the FFI.
Non members can also access our learning center.
Have a look.

The FFI Learning Center is a repository of high-quality educational materials to help people learn to fly fish or enhance the skills they already have. The repository includes information on general fly fishing skills, casting, fly tying, and conservation of resources.

I hope this is a win for all of us.
A little history lesson in that it was an FFI member, Ted Rogowski, who is instrumental in forming the Environmental Protection Agency, and implemented the federal Clean Water Act, building sewage treatment plants and conducting civil enforcement to clean the nation’s waterways

The justices ruled that discharges into some wetlands are not covered by the Clean Water Act.

Excellent new movie coming out.
It will be in theaters in two weeks.
Our friend Simon Gawesworth brought a keen effort to facilitate authenticity in Flyfishing to this film.

Earlier this year, we caught wind of a new film in production along the banks of some hallowed Montana waters. Upon further investigation, we found out the upcoming film was entitled “Mending the Line“. Directed by Joshua Caldwell, written by Stephen Camelio, and starring Sinqua Walls, Brian Cox...

This morning’s low tide walk on the beach tells me that this afternoon I will be using Crab patterns on the outgoing tide.
I use a full sink line .
Included is a photo of a bass from around this time last year who took a crab..In fact, several bass did.
