Join the Club

The Natal Fly Fishers Club was formed in 1972 and has a rich history in South African fly fishing. Many of the sport's most well known names have at some point in some way been affiliated to the club and many were in fact founding members.

Former club chairman Jim Read  is the President of the Club and Tom Sutcliffe was a founder member of the club and the Honorary Vice-President. The late Hugh Huntley and his close friends Eddie Combes and  Bill Duckworth - after whom the "DDD" was named - are just a few of flyfishing's great characters who have helped build the club over the years.

Perhaps most significant to the Club, is the generosity of the good farming folk who allow our members access to their superb fly fishing waters. We typically have approximately 12 stretches of river in the Natal Midlands holding both trout and yellowfish. We also typically have 25 dams in the Natal Midlands and Northern Natal, stocked with trout.and 8 bass dams.

Members are supplied with a full set of very comprehensive maps, access to a 24 hour booking service and access to member information on this site.

We meet casually on the last Thursday evening of every month at Crossways in Hilton from 5pm onwards and ad-hoc social functions and fly fishing clinics are organised from time to time. Our sister club, the Natal Fly Dressers Society (NFDS) meet at Victoria Country Club (VCC) at 7pm every second Tuesday of the Month. For further details of this very active society contact Jan Korrubel on 083 993 3870 or jlkorrubel@gmail.com.

After paying the annual subscriptions, members can fish as often as they like without incurring any further rod fees for the day, except if you should take a guest to fish with you.
