Central Ohio’s Premier Fly Fishing Club Since 1938

Since 1938, one of America’s premier fly fishing clubs, just minutes from home.

  • Located in Zanesfield, Ohio, just outside of Bellefontaine.

  • Blue-ribbon fishing for brook, brown and rainbow trout (18.5 pounds is our record).

  • Miles of natural, spring-fed streams and pools spread across a park-like 220 acres.
