Why Fish the Fly?
Why Fish the Fly?
Why Fish the Fly?
Flyfishers today benefit from over five centuries of tackle development, fly tying experimentation, earth science, art, literature and angler synergy. Experience tells us that it is flyfishing's ability to heighten our awareness of the moment that has made the sport so appealing to so many talented and effective individuals.
That, and the fact that flyfishing is so much fun.
While on the water or at the fly tying or rod building bench an angler is transformed into an artist, craftsman, and biologist, all rolled into one, deeply engaged in a meditation on the nature of things.
It is our goal at Broadside to help everyone who shares our enthusiasm for the sport celebrate the traditions and future of flyfishing. We conduct classes and workshops to hone skills and improve technique, we maintain a global network of fly fishers offering the very best from their studios and workshops, and we host excursions designed to introduce anglers to the many unique fishing opportunities available here in the Northeast.

My Dad, Uncle and I just got back from taking the beginning fly fishing school with Angus, Dave and Alan. What a fantastic experience. I have fished a lot of exotic locations around the globe, but in terms of pure fun, this ranks right up there. These guys were just so fun to learn from and hang out with....just great guys who are all extremely knowledgable and patient!! We are already talking about coming back and we just left this morning!!! Michael Harrison, July, 2016

Since it’s founding as a Fly Fishers’ Forum in 1987, Broadside Regulars have journeyed to Cape Breton each October to fish for Atlantic salmon, in 2000, a May Excursion to the Salt Ponds of Rhode Island to cast dry flies to striped bass was launched. Trips to Maine, NH and VT have been added to chase trout and landlocked salmon, and we regularly travel as far as Labrador for sea-run trout and salmon. We concentrate on the native fish of the Northeast and celebrate the great fly fishing traditions that began here.
