Our first Kiap-TU-Wish Tie-a-Thon has been scheduled for Saturday, February 23rd from 10:00 until sometime in mid afternoon. The location is Lund’s Fly Shop in scenic River Falls, Wisconsin. The reason for this event is to restock the Chapter’s dwindling fly library, primarily for our two biggest needs, the Trout Fishing Clinic in June and the Hap Lutter Spring Appeal.
We need you…up to eight or so fly tiers willing to sit around the table at Lund’s Fly Shop trading insults and tying a dozen or two dozen flies to be donated to the Chapter. This event will focus on nymphs, damp emergers and wet flies in the 12, 14 and 16 size range. Tiers can whip out a standard fur nymph or soft hackle, or a secret nymph or emerger that is a sure-fire deadly pattern. Another session in March will focus on dry flies.
Coffee and a hearty lunch will be provided. If you’d prefer an adult beverage you’re welcome to bring it. By all means bring your tools, hooks and materials for whatever fly you’re tying. If you’re missing something Brian will undoubtedly have what you need…it is a fly shop, after all. To register, contact: troutchaser@msn.com
