Wangaratta Fly Fishing Club

Welcome to the Wangaratta Fly Fishing Club (WFFC), one of the oldest fly-fishing clubs in Victoria, located in Wangaratta Rural City. The WFFC is a group of passionate fly fishermen dedicated to improving their skills and fishing together regularly. They embark on fishing trips throughout the Australian High Country, Tasmania, New Zealand, and even ventured to Christmas Island last year to target Bonefish.

The club organises regular weekend trips during the fishing season and coordinates activities through monthly meetings. During the off-season, members work on improving their casting and fly tying skills to enhance their catch rate and enjoyment of the sport.

The WFFC also plays a vital role in supporting and representing its members to government agencies through its affiliation with the Council of Victorian Fly Fishing Clubs (CVFFC) and VRFish. These organisations aim to maintain and develop the trout fishery in Victoria, giving fly fishermen an effective voice in these matters.

For those interested in entering the exciting world of fly-fishing, the WFFC is a wonderful resource. The club meets on the first Wednesday of each month at the Rotary Log Cabin on 28 Chisholm Street in Wangaratta, VIC. Visitors who are fly fishers are warmly welcomed to attend these meetings.

The WFFC also offers various club activities throughout the year, including a fly-fishing course that takes place in October. For more details, interested individuals can contact Ray at 0427 756 665.

Members of the club have access to newsletters published on a quarterly basis. These newsletters provide valuable information and updates to keep members informed about club activities and other relevant fly-fishing news.

Membership in the Wangaratta Fly Fishing Club is open to all interested individuals. Monthly meetings serve as an opportunity for new members to join and get involved. The club regularly organises fishing trips to local North East streams as well as other locations such as Tumut and Eucumbene. Additionally, the club conducts an annual introductory fly-fishing course specifically designed for newcomers to the sport.

Membership fees are $45 per annum ($10 for juniors) with a one-time joining fee of $5. For more information on becoming a member, interested individuals can contact the Club Secretary or email the club directly.
