Hello and Welcome!





Grizzly Peak Fly Fishers (GPFF) is a non-profit, volunteer-based, active participation fly fishing club founded in 1982.


Our club meets on the second Wednesday of every month (7:00 pm to 9:00 pm). We present our meetings both online using the ZOOM app, in addition to in-person meetings at the Kensington Youth Hut for those that are comfortable with face-to-face gatherings.


We welcome non-members to join our meetings. Please see our COVID guidelines Covid-19 Protocols.


Our membership encompasses Kensington, Berkeley, Oakland, El Cerrito, Albany, Alameda, Richmond, and other East Bay communities, as well as places beyond!


Our mission is to enhance your fly fishing experience through education, fly fishing outings, fellowship, skills development, and environmental awareness. We are an inclusive group and welcome fly fishers of all skill levels and backgrounds.


We offer monthly meetings with excellent speakers, outings to some of the most outstanding destinations in California, and beyond, opportunities to learn to cast, tie flies, build rods, and improve your overall fishing skills, access to a library that includes the latest fly-fishing books and videos, and an informative monthly newsletter.


While meetings are open to anyone, only members are entitled to participate in outings, receive our monthly newsletter, and attend some of our skills sessions. Our annual dues are $40.

One of the Gem Lakes, Little Lake Valley. No, it wasn't raining. That's the Brook Trout rise.
A 10" Upper Morgan Lake Rainbow. The fly he's on used to be one of my yellow Humpys, but after the 10th or 12th fish, it had become the "String and Wing." Still worked...
Rich M. pauses a moment to recover from the burden of catching fish. Adam W, Ellen L, and Stuart E struggle on, showing that fortitude that must ever be found among Grizzly Peak Fly Fishers...
Reaction after a fisherwoman's first fish -- Ellen L.
Ellen's kind heart couldn't bear seeing the fish strugging, so she released it before the camera arrived. But look closely...in the red circle...
A sudden splash, a thunder of waves, and a "Fish on!" It's the Very First Fish for someone...and that someone whom fate has found today is Ellen...at Upper Morgan Lake, in Little Lake Valley
Adam W. gazes down, past Mount Morgan, into the depths of Little Lake Valley, near the top of Morgan Pass.
Rock Creek, where the little brook trout play, and a pretty fair water supply, too...
Our campsite marked by the dart next to Rock Creek, above Long Lake
Adam W. and Ellen L. rest after our hike in to Long Lake.
Heart Lake is as pretty as a picture...
Morgan Pass is marked for Goldens...or is it? Where can one find that treasure, those Golden Trout we were after? Perhaps if we were less oxygen-starved, we could read...

A Yellowstone cutty in full glory.
I'm not telling where this is. The main trail there is a moose trail. It goes straight into the lake.
For those who persevere, there are some nice Yellowstone Cutthroat.
I like trails where the deer and the antelope play.
Cache Creek. Some nice pockets, but less unwary fish than one might hope...
