Sorry guys I am going to miss this. I have two differnt scout meetings that night, so I won't be even able to stop in and say Hi.

[Slartybardfast]

We could go over them on Saturday if you like. I posted tutorials for the prince and the red ass. Working on the partridge and orange.

[Tippecanoe Fly Fishers Admin]

Sure, but I genereally don't tie stuff that small.

I'm getting ready for a trip to Florida so I am tying streamer patterns right now. It's up to you.

We are also going to start a beginner course along with the flies that everyone is tying. I will be doing the first one this month. So If anyone wants to learn the basic tools/techniques... and learn the wooly bugger, feel free to come and join reguardless what your skill level is.
