Fwd: Virginia Fly Fishing & Wine Festival

[Thomas C Roberts]

Christmas may be over, but we still have Beau Beasley’s Virginia Fly Fishing Festival to look forward to in January.  Less than a month away, and bigger and better than ever.

Beau has been a great supporter of introducing young people to fly fishing.  The Boy Scout Fly Fishing Merit Badge program will again be offered this year to Boy Scouts on both Saturday and Sunday.  There is no charge for scouts in uniform and their guardian.

If you know of a Boy Scout troop or Boy Scout who might be interested, please pass along this link. 

Fish On!  And see you all in January in Doswell.

Awesome to hear. I did fly tying for the scouts with Project Healing Waters and every scout that came through was interested and did a great job. They really seemed to enjoy the tying station and I enjoyed working with them on the flies.
