mission statement
Since 1995, the Santa Barbara Flyfishers have been and still today are dedicated to promoting the art of fresh and saltwater fly fishing, catch and release, conserving our natural resources and contributing to our communities.
We provide youth programs, fly tying, fly casting, and rod building classes as well as good camaraderie through monthly meetings and group fishing trips.
"I look into... my fly box, and think about all the elements I should consider in choosing the perfect fly: water temperature, what stage of development the bugs are in, what the fish are eating right now. Then I remember what a guide told me: 'Ninety percent of what a trout eats is brown and fuzzy and about five-eighths of an inch long."
