Missouri fly fishing is one of the best kept secrets in the fly fishing world! We welcome you to our Missouri fly fishing community, the Flyfishers at the Crossing (FATC). The FATC is a fellowship of men with a passion for fly fishing, helping them grow in their faith through community service, charity and brotherhood while working to make better husbands, fathers, sons, brothers and friends. We are a not-for-profit (501)(c)(3) organization based in the St. Louis, Missouri area but have spread to many other states through our membership.
Our community of fly fishers is now over 230 members strong and not only fly fish all over the state of Missouri but throughout the United States and the world.
During the year, trips are planned to hone our skills and strengthen our friendships. Our motto “It isn’t just about the fly fishing” means we are more about being a brotherhood of men. If you are into fly fishing or want to learn, please contact us, you won’t regret it.
Two roads crossed in the woods, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
Are you at the “crossing” of two roads in your life? Take the one less traveled and come join the Flyfishers at The Crossing.
