Mid-South Fly Fishers Member Spotlight:
Frank Dawson grew up in Memphis, graduated from Memphis State, was an Air Force fighter pilot, became an avid fly fisherman/tyer, and managed a guide school in Montana. Recently Frank decided it was time to significantly (but not completely) reduce his extensive inventory of fly fishing gear, books, and tying materials. You may have seen some of it at the Expo and Christmas party. We want to thank Frank for his generous donation to MSFF and hope to fulfill his wish of getting it into the hands of fly fishers and fly tyers who can put it to good use. He also has done an excellent job of writing about his joy of fly fishing; click the buttons below for a great read!

Mid-South Freeze Out:
Trout at the Park

Bundle up and join Mid-South Fly Fishers on January 18, 2025 at Cameron Brown Park in Germantown for a morning of fly fishing for trout. Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency will stock the park pond with trout earlier in the week, and we'll get together for a morning of fishing and fellowship.

If you're interested but don't have any gear, come on out - we'll have everything you need to try your hand at fly fishing. Invite your neighbors and friends – this is a great opportunity to introduce people to the sport. Coffee and donuts will be served. Recommended flies: marabou jigs, wooly buggers, mops, trout magnets, etc.

This is a FREE event but be sure to have your Tennessee license and trout stamp. If you have any questions, please contact president@msff.org.
