Salty Fly Rodders of New York

[Link to The Salties website]

The Salties are one of the original saltwater fly fishing clubs in the country. Some of their members have been wetting lines in the salt since the 1950s. They meet at the Queens Botanical Gardens located 1 mile north of the Long Island Expressway on Main Street in Flushing, Queens) at 8 p.m. Meetings are held on the first Monday of the month, except for the months of January, July, and September when the schedule changes to the third Wednesday of the month. Fly tying and/or casting demos take place before every meeting, there's usually a prominent guest speaker.
Every spring, the Salties host one of the premier fly fishing events in our area -- a three-day conclave on Long Island's North Fork.
