Are you interested in tying your own flies, or have been wanting to learn some new patterns that will catch fish? If so our chapter holds tying classes through the month of February into March. These classes our a great bang for your buck and you will leave each class with a new pattern in your repertoire and a handful to put in your fly box. We have a great time at these classes with lots of fish tales, that will leave you open mouthed and wanting to get out on the river to create your own fish tales.
Celebrating the New Year
We hope you all had a great holiday season filled with lots of friends, family and food. Our January meeting will be on the 11th. This meeting is a time to celebrate the new year and set new goals for ourselves, and our chapter. Along with setting new goals you can learn new skills and new flies. Tim Flagler from Tight Line Productions, and Mike McAuliffe from Regal Vises will teach you new patterns and how to fish them. This meeting is a lot of fun and is always very educational. So help us bring in the new year with new memories, new friends, and new fly fishing skills.
