OTHER ACTIVITIES

Stay tuned for info on our fly-tying nights, special fishing trips and conservation/outreach programs.

Here's a traditional Ray Bergman wet fly from our January 28, 2008 Fly Tying Night.

For most of us, it was our first time ever tying the "married-wings" of the old traditional wet flyes.

Some looked better than others, though I'll bet the fish will like `em all. And most importantly, we had a lot of fun - learning, tying, and telling a few fish tales.

If you're a tyer, or would like to be, join us next time. If you don't have equipment, contact David Rossetti and we'll have a spare set for you.
