Learn to fly tying, casting and more with Raincountry Flyfishers

Raincountry Flyfishers, Juneau’s collective of fly fishing enthusiasts, meets twice a month to tie flys and work on technique.

The group meets on the second and fourth Wednesday of every month. For the first meeting of the month, the group usually works on fly fishing technique. The second is usually reserved for fly tying.

All Raincountry Flyfishers meetings this year will be held in the Thunder Mountain High School library at 7 p.m. on the following Wednesdays: Feb. 7, Feb. 28, March 14, March 28, April 11, April 25 and May 9.

There is no cost for the meetings, and all are open to the public. For more information on Raincountry Flyfishers, visit their website at raincountryflyfishers.com.
