Welcome To Antietam Fly Anglers Fly Fishing Site
The Antietam Fly Anglers was organized in 1975 in
Hagerstown, Maryland as an affiliated club of the
Federation of Fly Fishers (FFF) and is now a
Charter Club of the FFF. To be an active member of
the Antietam Fly Anglers one must be a member of
the FFF.
The purpose of the Antietam Fly Anglers is to promote and encourage every aspect of the sport of fly fishing and fly tying and the conservation of fishing resources in the Tri-State area. The club actively functions at both the local club level and the regional area and draws membership from Maryland, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. The Art of Fly Fishing, Fly Tying, Rod Building and support for instructional programs for Youth and Adult fly fishing activities are actively supported by the Antietam Fly Anglers.
A newsletter is sent to each member prior to the monthly meeting listing the program for that month and any other activities involving the club or the Federation.

Bob Stouffer on Casting
Check out the new Casting Club Pictures
Bob Stouffer has just returned from Massachusetts where he tested for FFF fly casting certification. He then shared just a little of his knowledge of fly casting in a Power Point Presentation and a handout to all members present. Fly casting has its own vocabulary and acronyms such as arc, stroke, drift, SLP (straight loop path), loop shapes, curves, mends, acceleration, third class levers, fast, medium and slow tapers and so on. His demonstrations with rod and large orange yarn were very valuable and appreciated by all present. Thank You, Bob, for a job very well done.
