Welcome to High Country Fly Fishers

“Beginner Fly Fishing Clinic in May & June”

HCFF’s Beginner Fly Fishing Clinics are being offered twice in 2026.

• May 19 to 21
• June 16 to 18

Here is an opportunity for you, your spouse, or your friends to learn the basics about fly fishing. No equipment is needed, just a little enthusiasm. HCFF’s experienced anglers are the instructors. They are eager to share their knowledge with you during this three-day clinic. Space is limited as we try to pair each student with an individual instructor.

This three-day class will give a beginner enough skills to start on his or her lifelong journey into fly fishing. Tell your friends. The $250 fee includes this calendar year’s membership in HCFF.

If you have questions about the Beginner Fly Fishing Clinic, email Larry Finch.

One of our major activities each year is the Wasatch Fly Tying and Fly Fishing Expo, which features 100 exhibitors, 50 fly tyers, educational workshops, casting demos, raffles, silent auctions, and other activities for children and adults. HCFF has participated in planning and conducting the Expo for over 10 years.

Adam Eakle, one of our greatest supporters and host of “KSL Outdoors,” a weekly TV show, featured High Country and the Expo on his December 6, 2026, episode, “Strawberry Stillwater with High Country Fly Fishers.”

The Expo is a joint venture of four Trout Unlimited chapters and two Fly Fishers International chapters, with net proceeds going to support fisheries-related conservation, education, and outreach.

HCFF members hold leadership positions in the joint venture. If you would like to assist in the planning of the Expo, please contact Eric Luna or Bill Quapp. Specific skills needed are project management, audio/video setup, and website support.

Support the Henry’s Fork Foundation

Nearly every Utah fly fisher has fished or dreams of fishing the Henry’s Fork. The Henry’s Fork Foundation (HFF) has been the lead organization since 1984 for preserving and enhancing the Henry’s Fork River, aka, the North Fork of the Snake River. A few years ago, the HFF expanded its mission to include the South Fork of the Snake River. These two premier rivers offer both outstanding fishing and beautiful boating. A trip down the South Fork through the stretch called the canyon should be on everyone’s bucket list. You could travel 1000’s of miles and not find any place more inspiring.

Next week, on March 20, the HFF holds its annual reception in Utah. This enjoyable event is a major fundraiser for the Foundation and helps to support the great work on both stretches of the Snake. More details are found in the attachment and on their website.
