MCFF Fly Tying Night - 17 April 2023

 We had a great turnout at tonight's MCFF Fly Tying Night! Carl Sanders led the group in tying one of club president Capt. Dick Withey's favorite crab patterns! This fly was a challenge even for our seasoned tyers, but, I'm proud to say, we had several beginners that toughed it out and tied this crab as their first fly!! We have a Tying Night the third Monday of every month and we're always happy to help folks learn a new pattern or introduce beginners to the passion of fly tying! I'll be glad to save a seat for you!

 

Made a quick stop at Bass Pro...

Made a quick stop at Bass Pro yesterday to find a travel bag for my fly tying gear. They had this bag, empty, for $12.99 and a 4-pack of boxes that fit inside for $14.99. All in, I came out about $10 cheaper than buying a smaller bag that already had the boxes in it! I'll keep you posted on how it holds up over time. Now to find the new vise and tools to fill it!
