Board Election Meeting will be Thursday, September 2nd at 7:30pm.

Since Covid messed up a bunch of things for our Club, we’ve decided to hold a special board election meeting tomorrow (Thursday 09/02/21). This is in advance of our annual meeting that we usually hold the first part of January. We will be electing board members & officers, and discussing other items. Unless things change, we have one board member opening, and all of the officers terms are up, so those positions are open.

If you are interested in volunteering as board member or officer for the Club, stop by tomorrow’s meeting. You can nominate yourself, or you can also nominate someone you think would be a good fit. All nominees must be a paid member in good standing with the Club.

This is a great opportunity to give back to the Club, and the time commitment is small enough that anyone can do it.

Here are the terms for current Board members:

2020 SPFT Board
Officers (1-year terms)
President: (Open) Tony Stifter –Year 2
Vice President: (Open) Nate Gubbins –Year 2
Treasurer: (Open) Tom Muellner– Year 2
Secretary: (Open) Greg Meyer– Year 2

Board of Directors (3 year terms)
Eddie Rivard, 3rd year (Open)
Del Kauss, 2nd year
Randy Mark, 1st year

MEETING 7:30
North St. Paul VFW
2483 7th Ave E,
St Paul, MN 55109

SMALLMOUTH OUTING | Snake/ St. Croix Rivers— Sunday July 11th, 2021 2:00

We’ll meet at the Snake River Landing picnic area at the confluence of the Snake and St. Croix Rivers.

Lunch provided by club at 2:00.  Free to paid Members and a guest. Bring your own beverage of choice.
Tony is cooking!

Some members float the St. Croix River in the morning to the confluence of the Snake in kickboats, canoes, or drift boats. Others can enjoy wade fishing the Snake for nice smallies. Boats are not provided for either location, so hook up with someone who has one if you want to float. Best way to do that is to stop by the North St. Paul VFW this Thursday to see if anyone has a spot in their boat, or hook up with a member that has one.

Greg Meyer has a 17′ Old Towne canoe for someone to borrow if needed. You’ll need to transport and a car-top carrier. Need to know by Thursday, July 8. First come, first serve. You can contact him at the club email below.

Please let Tony Stifter know if you’re coming by Thursday, July 8, so he can get a head count for food.

Not a member? Bring $20, sign up and we’ll make it work.

Bud Wienberg

Sunday, June 6th

Meet at the Silver Bridge picnic area where Hwy 63 crosses the Rush River in Martell at 1:00.

WI Trout – Like years past we will again be fishing the western Wisconsin streams and meeting for lunch at the silver bridge in Martell.

We’ll meet for a picnic lunch at 1:00 pm at the picnic area at Hwy 63 and the Rush River in Martell. The old silver bridge is gone so it may look a little different for people who haven’t been there for a while. There are picnic tables but bring a folding chair to make sure you have a place to sit.

For this first meet up of 2021, Club will not be providing lunch, so we ask that you bring your own beverage and lunch.

Members usually fish on their own, then come to the picnic area for lunch. We recommend carpooling with other club members, and that you find a friend or member to fish with, then stop by for the picnic.

Seeing as we are asking for you to BYO, this event is open to all.

Hope to see everyone there.

DIY FLY ROD ADVENTURES with CASEY SMITH

Posted on February 9, 2020March 17, 2020 by St.Paul Fly Tiers

DIY FLY ROD ADVENTURES with CASEY SMITH

THURSDAY, MARCH 5th | 8:00

Our program for March Casey will be presenting DIY travels with a fly rod, minimalist packing, getting around, and a whole lot more.

He’ll talk about the different destinations he’s been to, with a spotlight on Chilean Patagonia.

From Casey:
Although originally wanting to be on the Professional Bass Circuit when I was young, I’ve worked as a professional touring musician, studio producer/engineer and guitar instructor for 21 years.

In the past 6 years, fly fishing has made a resurgence in my life and become an obsession. Concentrating mainly on saltwater species, I spend my time fishing half the year on Martha’s Vineyard, MA where I work, and travel the rest of the year chasing fish around the country and globe carrying everything on my back.
Gulden’s Restaurant & Bar
2999 North, US-61,
Maplewood, MN 55109
