Arizona Flycasters Club

Arizona Flycasters Club (AFC) began with an organizing meeting on January 12, 1962. It is not known just who was the spark that initiated the idea of organizing an informal group of 26 anglers interested in fly fishing. This group met only in the off season and membership at that time was by invitation only. We do know who the first group of officers was. Elected as President was C.W.(Doc) Jones, John Sandige was elected as Vice-President, Fred Weiler (at that time Director of AZ Game and Fish) was elected as Secretary/Treasurer and Art Tayler was elected as Chief Fly Caster, a title given to the officer responsible for club programs.
