FALMOUTH FLATS FLY FISHERS All Fish All Waters Dedicated to fly fishing and the educationconservationand sustainability of the sport The Falmouth Flats Fly Fishers is a diverse group of anglers with one thing in common The Fly Rod. Located in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed we are a nonprofit charter club of Fly Fishers International FFI dedicated to the promotion of fly fishing through education restoration and conservation efforts. Our club was spawned as a result of the seasonal shad and striped bass runs on the easilywaded Rappahannock River flats below the Falmouth Bridge in Fredericksburg Virginia. Over the course of several years as an increasing number of fly fishers came into contact with one another at the flats information was shared friendships made and on January 19th of 1999 the Falmouth Flats Fly Fishers was launched at an organizational meeting which drew 25 people by wordofmouth advertising.
