I had a great Idea for the beer tie. I think that you should have new table where people can learn how to tie flies for a random fish that is not commonly found inside the beltway. We should call this table "The Foreign Table". At the end of each beer tie, Dan should get a box filled with names of fish that are not found in our area and randomly chose one. Come next beer tie, the foreign table will be covered in materials and hooks that people can use to tie flies for that fish. You can bring in materials to add to the pile or just borrow the community donated ones. Each person will place three different patterns that they tied for the speies in question and put them in a box. Dan and whoever else does the voting on the fly competitions will vote on which fly they think will work the best for the given species and the winner will recive an orvis grab bag or some other prize.
If Anybody else has any great beer tie ideas, comment them down.
