Feb 26th meeting with Pat Dorsey update

Pat’s subject for our meeting is “Fly Fishing Colorado’s Best Tailwaters. This will be a different subject than his presentation at Troutfest this weekend. So, you get two great presentations! You can check out our web page for his complete BIO. 

Our meeting is free, so even if you are not a member of our club yet, feel free to drop by and meet everyone. It is easy to join the club for useful info and outings. Even if you have not fly fished we can help you with that.

 

Rio’s Four best knots vid and DVD
RIO’s Favorite Fly Fishing Knots DVD is the ultimate instructional guide to the most popular and useful fly fishing knots. Each knot is tied in thick, highly visible material that makes it very easy to see the exact detail of how each knot is tied.

This second edition of our sneak peek at some of the key knots from this DVD highlights four knots used to join leader and tippet material together. As with all these videos, each film ends with a lab test breaking each knot, and showing exactly how strong the knot is.
BUY DVD
In this film you will see how to tie the following joining knots:

1) Blood Knot
2) Improved Blood Knot
3) Double & Triple Surgeon Knot
4) Uni Knot

The Mop Fly Tue the 11th class subject

Come join us this coming Tuesday (Feb. 11th) at 7:00pm at the American Legion Hall, 410 West Coll St., New Braunfels.  Come in the front door and we are in the room at the first door to the right.  This month we will be tying something a little different, “The Mop Fly”, a fairly simple fly to tie using some pieces from a hand washing car mitt  Jeff and I were told by Martin Pursch, owner of Country Fly Fishers fly shop in Fredericksburg that this fly was not allowed to be used in a fishing tournament because it caught to many fish.  LOL, We should be so lucky!!  Any way come join us to learn how to tie this fly and also make some flies for the club meeting fly raffle.  You can bring your own tools or we can provide you with the necessary tools and tying supplies.
Hope to see you there,
Gary and Jeff
