Discussion Forum

A discussion forum has been created for discussions amongst fly fishers exclusively. More specifically, for fly fishers that are paid members of either the Kilpatrick Flyfishers, Northern Waters Flyfishers, or the Flatland Fly Fishers. The generic term for this type of website is commonly called a board or a web forum. This website will allow members only to post messages for others members to read. The intent of this website is to be used as a tool for planning trips, providing tips to fellow fly fishers, as well as any other fly fishing related discussions. Once you are able to log in, you’ll notice that some categories have already been set up to provide directions. These can always be modified if needed.

Two points we want to make clear:

• This is FREE, not only to you as members, but also to the clubs. As such, you will have to put up with a few advertisements on the website. They are quite easy to ignore just as any other webpage.
• The information on the board is locked to members only. No “visitors” will get past the login page and be allowed to view the information posted on the boards. As such (and the main rule for the board), do not be reposting the information from this board on to other websites.

Here is quick run down on how to get signed up:

  1. Go to http://saskflyfish.proboards81.com (no www.) You may want to add this site to your favourites (aka “bookmark” it) at this time.
  2. Click on “Create new account”  (Ignore the error message)
  3. Enter whatever information you desire, but you must use your real name for the user name as well as the email address you have registered with your club. This helps the administrators identify you and verify your membership. If you are John Smith, use johnsmith as a user name. You can change how it is displayed later. We don’t need to know your actual age, but the rules we can’t change require you to be older that 13 so pick any year you wish 1995 or before.
  4. Make sure you select ‘I agree’  at the bottom of the page and then click on Create Account
  5. Your account has been created, but still needs to be verified by the administrators. In the mean time, go check your email and follow the instructions there.
  6. Your first email states your account has been created. But you need to click on the link in the email to verify your email address.
  7. Wait patiently until the admins get a chance to verify your club membership. We do try to check often but keep in mind, we’re likely fishing on weekends.
  8. Once the admins prove you are a paid up (by May 1st of each year) member of a fly club, your account will be approved and you will get another email stating as such. Now you may log in.
  9. Again, go back to http://saskflyfish.proboards81.com enter you username, password, and login.
  10. There you go. Your first step is to read the welcome section. It explains the intent of the board and does lay out a few ground rules. After that, explore the different categories, and get posting ☺.

Only current Saskatchewan Fly Fishing club members are permitted access to this board – and as such we all use our real names – no “handles” or nick names.

Fly Fishers are a small fraternity in Saskatchewan and over time, you will likely have the opportunity to meet most (if not all) of the folks who are registered on this Board.

The good news is that anybody can become a club member.
