Red Tag Fly Fishers Club Development Program 2025.
Hi Fly Fishing Friends,
Discover the thrill of fly fishing and become part of something truly special with the Red Tag Fly Fishers! We're launching our exciting new development program designed to inspire, teach, and connect people who want to start on their fly fishing experience.
At Red Tag, we’re more than a club; we’re a friendly, welcoming community built on mentorship, camaraderie, and a deep love for the water. Join us to learn from passionate fishers, share unforgettable moments on the river, and become part of a supportive social circle that values connection as much as the catch. Let’s cast forward—together!
The Red Tag Fly Fishers Club runs a Development Program for new or prospective members who have little or no fly fishing experience. Past newcomers to the club have found this program to be very beneficial.
The Club has an opportunity to run the next Development Program during July/August and we are now seeking expressions of interest for prospective participants the cost will be $70.00 per participant and dates for the program are set out below.
The sessions will be conducted at Yarra Bend Park Pavilion, Cnr Yarra Bend Park Rd & Fairlea Rd Fairfield and at the casting pond also at the end of Fairlea Rd.
As part of the program, you will be provided with two booklets covering the topics discussed in the course. There are also video and blog links in the Members' Area of our website.
