Santa Cruz Fly Fishing club mission:
To Promote, Educate and Enjoy the sport of fly fishing.
We are a group of about 200 fly fishing enthusiasts living in Santa Cruz county. Our members get together to fish, improve our knowledge and abilities, and give back to the sport. In the past decade, the club has donated about $30,000 to local and state wide conservation efforts and around $10,000 to local high school scholarships for students going to college with focus on environmental degrees. Join us by becoming a member!

Breaking out the wood. South Bend rod made ‘48-‘51 with Sears reel from the same era. Working class equipment. Nothing fancy but a lot of fun to fish. #bambooflyrods #flyfishing
SCFF hosted a surf fishout Saturday with members from Stanislaus Fly Fishers joining. Great way to beat the inland heat and catch some perch. Thanks to Scott, our club Prez and his wife Eva for the breakfast burritos 👍

From Kevin our club VP. “I decided this trip that I wanted to keep one fish for the table. A beautiful 3-4 lb brown made the ultimate sacrifice. I think we did it proud. I’d say he was cleaned to the bone, but I boned the trout before I stuffed it with quinoa, wild rice, capers, shallots, and Spanish olives. Fresh green beans from the garden, and a lovely wedge salad finished the plate.
Heresy perhaps, but I’ll live with the sin & remember that fish for the rest of my days.“
Heck yeah Kevin! #flyfishing #broiledtrout #browntrout

Sometimes it’s the hopper, sometimes the dropper. Either way the takes are splashy and fun to watch. #flyfishing #hopperdropper
