The Guild is a not-for-profit organisation open to anyone interested in flies and fly tying, whether a knowledgeable veteran, a novice or somewhere in between, and new members are warmly welcomed. Please do explore our website to find out more about us and what we can offer you.
Our members’ interests cover the full range of flies and fishing styles, including:
– traditional dries;
– wets and nymphs for trout;
– hair-winged and fully dressed classic salmon flies;
– modern stillwater competition flies;
– realistics and semi-realistics;
– pike; and
– saltwater flies.
Four enthusiastic fly-dressers established the Guild in 1967, to share their expertise with a wider audience. Today, we have around 900 members across the UK and overseas, mainly in Europe, but also quite a few in North and South America, Australia and New Zealand.
In addition, members of the Guild have created a network of over 30 branches across the UK, which operate independently but are affiliated to the Guild. These branches offer a range of activities including fly tying classes, talks and fishing outings. We encourage all members to join their local branch and take part in the activities they arrange.
