Friday Night Flies!!! A lot has happened in the past few weeks and we're still struggling with the loss of our President. But he would want us to continue and 'fight the good fight' I am sure of it. So... I've been tying some, reflecting on my interactions with Joe over the past several years. … Continue reading Not a Hair Out of Place Fly Tying Presents…

Repeat Offenders! So Tuesday was Valentine's Day and I saw the first Red-Winged Blackbird of this season at the bird feeder. I believe this is a coupe weeks earlier than normal.

Something’s Bugging Me…!!!
Hey, I meant to include this in the 'Last SRS Meeting...' post published yesterday evening - but forgot.

NAHOOP!!! Disclaimer: I have not fished this particular fly in the past - and, this is the first time tying it. Note: There's an SRS Calendar Update at end of this post.

NAHOOP!!!! ... fly tying. I've only met him through SRS and only over the phone. We had taken to calling the membership a year or so ago - just to see how everyone was doing and to see if anything was on the minds of our members. One particular contact sticks out to this day. … Continue reading Friday Night Flies Presents….
