 Welcome to the Salty FlyRodder’s website.
Our intent for this site is for it to be a source of information about saltwater fly fishing for members and non-members alike. There are areas of this website however, that are accessible to members only, such as specific information about planned fishing trips.
Our philosophy is that membership in an organization entails certain benefits as well as responsibilities. Access to the restricted areas is one of the benefits. Active participation in club activities is one of the responsibilities.

Cabin Fever
With the holidays over and a couple of months left before any real shots at Spring run fish can be had, it is time to turn our attention to our gear and flies. Those of us fortunate enough to depart to warmer locals may play with Bonefish, Permit and Tarpon to name a few. For the rest, it is time to hit the fly tying bench, tie up some leaders for Spring sight fishing adventures or just gather to discuss seasons past and hope for a new one. We should not forget that there is also an opportunity to become more active in conservation efforts and start writing some letters to our elected officials calling for greater enforcement of laws we already have on the books!
The Fly Fishing Show in Somerset
The Fly Fishing Show in Somerset, NJ was a blast. Thanks to all the members who volunteered their time at the show and congratulations to the Board of the club for major improvements in the quality of our booth over last year. Special thanks to MIKE WOLYNIEC for constructing a custom TV stand to display our new club video!!! We had great fun meeting new folks at the show who may become new members! Flies were tied, leaders were fixed and a new club video was unveiled! New products were tested and it seems that two-handed rod use for saltwater surf fly fishing has come of age. At least this year, we didn't have sheets of ice to skate over to get to the convention center door from the parking lot!
2010 43rd Annual Conclave Event
The Salty's have launched a new format for our annual Conclave. Attendees will have the opportunity to experience a full day of guided shoreline fishing with four top rated guides. The value of fishing with any ONE of these individuals exceeds the cost of an entire weekend Conclave enrollment. More details on this event will be posted to the website before February 1st. Stay tuned in the "News"! section for more details.
Club Fly Tying Groups
We have also resurrected the fly tying group within the club and have secured a venue in Massapequa for the convenience of Long Island members. We will also soon announce a Manhattan venue for the convenience of New York City members. If you don't know how to tie and wish to learn, you can come early to one of our monthly meetings for individualized instruction. Meanwhile, stay warm and dream of screaming reels.......

The "Salty" Flyrodders of New York, the sole remaining chapter of the original Salty Flyrodders of America, was founded in 1966 by Neil Druger.
He enrolled four pioneer members: Lou Rossi, Dom DeSalvo, Erwin Zobel, and Hammond Fox. From this humble beginning, the club now boasts a membership list in excess of 200.
Monthly meetings are held at the Queens Botanical Garden in Flushing, NY on the first Monday of each month with the exception of January, July, and September, when they take place on the second Wednesday. |
