Welcome to the Grand River Fly Tyers of Grand Rapids, Michigan

The Grand River Fly Tyers are a charter club of the FFF, the Federation of Fly Fishers and the only club in midwest-Michigan. Our motto: We encourage and promote the art and science of fly-tying and fly-fishing through E D U C A T I O N.

While our main focus is on the art of fly-tying we are also avid anglers. Some of our members organize fly fishing expeditions to various parts of North America.

FFF membership is a requirement for membership in the Grand River Fly Tyers.
We support all FFF goals. The FFF stands for "all fish, all waters" in fresh as well as salt water. The FFF "IS" the voice of the fly-fishermen.

We publish a bi-monthly newsletter "The Fly Dressers's Gazette" where we post our club events, fishing stories, fly of the month and other informative articles. Each member is mailed a copy for their enjoyment!

The Grand River Fly Tyers are excited to have been recognized with The Club Achievement Award by the Great Lakes Council of the Federation of Fly Fishers
at the recent conclave held in Roscommon, Michigan. We are humbled by the recognition given to us by the GLC and plan to continue our efforts toward conservation and education.

The Grand River Fly Tyers are active in the fly fishing and fly tying community as well. In fact we have been invited to showcase our talents and teach others at the following events:

GLC Fly Expo in Mason, Michigan
Northcoast Fly Expo, Cleveland, Ohio,
Michigan Fly Fishing Expo, Warren, Michigan
Grand Rapids Hunting, Fishing and RV Show, Grand Rapids, Michigan.
