The Sea Island
Fly Fishers (SIFF)
What are we? A
group of about 70 men and women who share a common interest in fly fishing. This
group meets on the second Wednesday from September through June each year.
What do the meetings involve? The
meetings start at 6:00 p.m. with a social hour followed by a speaker or film.
What is the members fishing background? Some
are long time salt water fly fisherman. Some
come to the area with fresh water experience and
are interested in learning about salt water fly fishing.
Others have never done any fly fishing but are interested in learning more about
the sport.
Do I have to have a boat to participate? No.
About half the group are boat owners and half are not. In fact many of those who
own boats are always looking for a crew on their fishing excursions.
What tournaments is the club involved with? Throughout the year the club sponsors several tournaments. Novices as well as
experienced fisherman are welcome.
What are the costs? An
annual family membership costs $30.00. In addition the club holds two outings a
year- a Christmas party and a cookout with charges of $15 to $20 for those who
wish to participate.
What other projects is the club involved with? At the
moment the club is involved in the Low Country Institute’s Osprey Monitoring
Project. A number of the members are also active participants in the redfish
tagging program and involved in oyster restoration project.
Do I have to join to attend a meeting? No. You
are welcome to come as a guest.
Where
do you meet? The
club meets at Bay Street Outfitters, 815 Bay
