Fly of the Week - Monday December 22

For this coming Monday we'll have an "Open" evening. So, bring
whatever materials for whatever you want to tie. If you want help with
some of your tying, people will be there to help you out.

After the holidays, we'll continue with the Streamer tying sessions.

Happy Holidays.

Sorry for the breakdown in communications. I have been on vacation and
have not checked the website.

Let's pick up again on Monday January 5th at 7:00 PM. I'll get in
touch with Wally and I'll post the fly of the week and the list of
materials.

Have a Happy New Year.

I was unable to line up a lead tyer for this evening. Dana was
expecting to be away. Some phone calls I made were never returned.

Tonight is a free for all, so bring whatever material you have for one
of the patterns we've tied before. We'll pick up with some more
classic wet flies next week.
