Our Annual Extravaganza - just about everything for fly fishers.

This January's monthly meeting will be an opportunity to watch members at various tables tie flies and talk about the pattern. There will be a Beginners Table where you can learn to tie and take home your very own wooley bugger. There will also be area fly shop vendors, rod collectors, custom rod builders, flies for sale and the President's Table where new and slightly used equipment is offered for sale with proceeds to benefit Casting for Recovery. This event is a wonderful opportunity to meet & chat with fellow conservation minded fishing enthusiasts, perhaps get a bargain or two, and thoroughly enjoy oneself. Hope to see you there at the Holyoke Lodge of Elks, 250 Whitney Ave., Holyoke, MA, January 9, 2018, 7-10PM.
