The Salty Flyrodders of New York gather each year for their Community Conclave, a club event built around saltwater fly fishing, shared technique, and the simple pleasure of time on the water. The gathering typically brings together club members, guests, and fellow fishermen from across the country who are drawn to the idea of learning, casting, and connecting over a shared passion for chasing tarpon and other saltwater species near beaches, rivers, and flats.

Preparation is part of the tradition, and the club publishes a dedicated packing list and program details to help members and guests arrive ready for a comfortable, enjoyable stay. Planning resources cover everything from gear and clothing to personal items for the trip, while program highlights give a sense of the kinds of activities featured, ranging from beginner instruction and guided outings to presentations on fly patterns, casting loops, and technique.

Beyond the technical side, the Conclave reflects the club's broader character: a welcoming, understated community of anglers who value fellowship, education, and stewardship of coastal waters. Recent gatherings have continued to adapt, offering virtual and hybrid participation where needed, and preserving resources and timing so that the annual meeting remains accessible and meaningful for everyone who hopes to spend time among fellow fly fishermen.
