Please make note of the date change for our November meeting. We pushed it back a week because of a conflict with our Trinity River Outing. We are fortunate to have Mikey Wier as our speaker this month. Mikey has had a long and storied career within the fly fishing industry. His talk will focus on the most recent and exciting developments with the dam removal project on the Klamath River. Mikey has unique insights to this ongoing project given his connection with CalTrout. In addition to conservation updates, Mikey will of course talk fishing. Mikey has fly fished the world and documented most of it on video. Come ready with lots of questions.

Michael “Mikey” Wier

Fly Fisher/Fly Tier/Film Producer

Growing up in the Sierra Foothills Michael was always close to Nature. Spending a lot of time at the Lakes and Rivers he learned to fish and tie flies at a young age. Once he moved to Lake Tahoe he began to split his time between snowboarding in the winters and fly-fishing in the summers. Michael spent 15 seasons fishing and guiding the waters of the Truckee, Carson, Walker rivers and
surrounding waters.

In 2001 he started BURL Productions specializing in adventure and outdoor films. Notable titles to his credit include FISH EYE Videos, Trout Bum Dairies 1, SOULFISH 1 & 2, and CALI RUSH.

Michael now works for California Trout helping to protect California’s Trout Salmon Steelhead and blue ribbon waters. Michael is an Ambassador for Patagonia Fly-Fishing, Smith, Loon Outdoors, Galvan Reels and Outcast boats.

Our Mission

We are a FEDERATION OF FLY FISHERS affiliated club, a national organization whose goal, like ours, is to promote the wonderful sport of fly-fishing as well as protect our natural resources. We promote catch and release, education, conservation, and above all, encourage and help those who desire to learn more about all aspects of fly-fishing.

Fly Fishers for Conservation (FFFC) was organized in 1961 by a group of devoted fly fishers deeply concerned with the preservation of trout and all game fish, their environment, and the quality of fishing. Our club has maintained two goals since that time: To foster and promote the sport of angling with artificial flies. To protect, conserve and increase our angling resources.

Fly Fishers for Conservation is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt non-profit organization. This means you can use your contribution as a tax deduction. The club gets revenue from member-ship dues and the annual fundraiser dinner. We try to contribute to conservation issues in the area and to our youth with our Trout in the Classroom program, the No Child Left Inside program and by holding a Youth Fly-Fishing Academy annually. The club is always in need of funds. Please consider donating. You may send a check to Fly Fishers for Conservation at PO Box 1192, Clovis, CA 93613. Your donations will be greatly appreciated and they will help the club fulfill its obligations.
