The Northern Lights Fly Tyers Club is a group of dedicated and concerned anglers who meet regularly throughout the year to converse about all things fly fishing. Although the groups founding principle was to get together once every week to tie flies, they have since branched out to cover all aspects of the sport.

A number of times each year the club endeavors to get together to go out fly fishing on what are known as "conclaves". The membership is diverse in talents, and amongst each member's strength everyone has something unique to offer it's fellow members. Some are experts in rod-building, while others have practical guiding experience. No matter how diverse we are, all are eager to practice and share their craft of fly-tying along with their passion for the abundant fisheries resources we have.

Through our many associations with local retailers we have helped to promote fly-tying and the sport and ethics of angling in Alberta. Something we are very proud of! In fact, a great many of our members have at one time or another volunteered their personal time to participate in a varying number of fishery enhancement projects.
Each year the club has also been graciously invited to attend the annual Outdoor Sportsman by a local business to showcase their skills. This offers us a tremendous opportunity to attract new members. Some of whom perhaps may have never even tied a fly before, or may be trying to get started on their own, to the more experienced tyers who want to both learn and share the latest patterns.
