Upcoming Chapter Events & Meetings
|
May 18 - Patrick Weaver, Headwaters Outfitters One will learn the detailed process for selecting flies, including how the insect behavior and environment can influence your final decision on which pattern to use. From a tier’s perspective, I will show you how I create flies that perform better than mass produced flies by focusing on profile, proportions, materials, buoyance and durability. Finally, since May is a busy month for insects, I will present on key flies to imitate the mayflies, caddis and stone flies. In addition, I will present attractor flies used on Delayed Harvest streams. |

COVID-19 UPDATE:
“Older adults and people who have severe underlying chronic medical conditions like heart or lung disease or diabetes seem to be at a higher risk for developing more serious complications from COVID-19 illness. People who are at higher risk are encouraged to avoid crowds as much as possible.”
For that reason, all in-person chapter meetings, are cancelled through December.
Small group outings may proceed with all of the proper precautions taken about social distancing.
