The High Plains Drifters (HPD) fly fishing club, an Affiliate of the Federation of Fly Fishers (FFF), was formed by a few dedicated fly fishing enthusiasts in March of 1991.  HPD members meet monthly to provide fishing and educational opportunities to our members.

 

The HPD Goals are:

  • Promote Fly Fishing.
  • Promote Friendliness and Fellowship Among Fellow Fly Fishers.
  • Promote Catch and Release Fishing.
  • Support the Goals of the Federation of Fly Fishers (FFF).
    • Conserving, Restoring, and Educating Through Fly Fishing
