Service Programs
Tie-a-Dozen Challenge!
We need flies for our service programs! We challenge tiers to tie a dozen identical flies and gift them to our service programs. For more info, see the Tie-a-Dozen Challenge page.
The club is actively involved in a number of service programs, including:
Catch a Fish - providing fly fishing experiences to promote the sport.
Discovery on the Fly - encouraging positive decisions of troubled youth through fly fishing experiences.
Reel Kids - an escape for kids with cancer and their families.
Reel Recovery - helping men with cancer through fly fishing.
Reel Vets - giving back to our veterans through fly fishing.
Trout in the Classroom - teaching elementary school students about science, art, recreation, and other values of fish and aquatic life.
Youth Fly Fishing Experiences -engaging youth in the sport of fly fishing, from casting to tying. We also provide group youth education services.
Youth Work Days - teaching youth about conservation through habitat maintenance projects.
Youth Mentoring - helping youth learn the skills needed to achieve fly fishing and related merit badges and awards in their scouting, venturing, exploring, and similar activities.
These programs are free to all participants. These programs are made possible by our great network of partners and supporters and, of course, our volunteers.
If you like to get involved in any of these programs, please contact our service programs coordinator, Jim Norton, at programs@hsfc.us.
You may help fund our programs by making a contribution at our online store.
Note: Though High Sierra Fly Casters operates on a not-for-profit basis, the club is not a charity.
