United Fly Tyers of Rhode Island is an educational organization. Its members are dedicated to the teaching and the learning of the tying arts and the application of those arts to fishing in Rhode Island waters and beyond.

Monthly meetings are held at 6:30 pm on the First Wednesday of every month, from September through May, at The Impossible Dream. More on meetings.

John O'Meara runs a monthly fly tying program for juniors from 10 to 16 years old (October through March), which concludes with their own fly tying symposium--and a day on a pond where, besides tying flies, they learn to recognize some insects and to fly fish with Ed Lombardo.

UFTRI Juniors will meet with the Juniors of the Rhode Island Salt Water Anglers Association
on Jan. 30 from about 1pm till 3 or 4 pm.

Meetings: First Wednesday of the month at 6:30 PM

Folks, this is just a reminder:  On Saturday January 30, from 1 pm till 3 or 4 pm, the UFTRI Juniors will be hosting the RISSA Juniors in a tying session.  All of our kids are invited to participate, whether you've been to a meeting this year or not.  The more the merrier.  In fact bring a friend or two.
