“Flies and Lies: Fly Tying & Story Telling Expo”  

This month’s meeting will involve several presenters which will come from our own membership.  Many of our members are accomplished fly tiers, and while I started to add respectable, thinking of several of us, I guess we better scratch that!  Anyway, fly tying demonstrations are planned so come out and watch these individuals display their skills and talent.  Since no one has been officially invited to do this, simply bring your own vise, supplies and tools, and tie some flies yourself.  Just think, adding yourself to this motley crew will make it more “respectable.”  But really, if you would like to learn to tie flies or simply to learn to perform a particular technique, several tiers will be prepared for this with extra materials, tools and vices.  Of course for safety sake, we will be going strictly barb-less. Therefore, this event will be appropriate for children and teenagers, so pump them up and then bring them to the meeting at the peak of their energy and expectations.  We will do our best not to disappoint them!  The evening should be fun and relaxing.  Also, feel free to bring a fishing story or two to informally share with the group, as everyone will be milling about watching the fly tying activities. Snacks and drinks will be provided.  

Don't forget the fish sampling schedule for September 26th.
