Great turnout at tonight's MCFF Tying Night! Capt. Frank Brownell started us out with a presentation on the Eyes on Seagrass grass tracking app to fulfill an assignment for his Master Naturalist studies. Then, Bob Dillon led the tyers in tying one of his amazing flies, the BD Shrimpoon!!
Tying Night is the third Monday of each month, following our regular meeting on the second Monday. All are welcome, and as always, I'll be glad to save you a seat!

Wonderful day for the Mid-Coast Fly Fishers' annual open house! Huge thanks to all who came out and made it an excellent event! The morning started out on the cool side, so hot coffee was definitely required! Thanks, too, to the vendors who joined us! Floyd Skiffs, RCI Optics, Cortland and Riverside Conservancy. Always so much fun to share a meal and the passion for fly fishing with so many great folks! I clearly didn't take enough pictures, but I'm proud and thankful for how well the day went! Come out and join us next year, it promises to be bigger and better yet! MCFF meets the 2nd and 3rd Monday of each month, plus Saturday Casting Practice! All are welcome and, as always, I'll be glad to save you a seat.

A challenging morning on the water has turned in to a beautiful day for a cookout at our first annual MCFF Redfish Tournament! Fantastic turnout and great to see our members come together for a fun event!
Tonight's Mid Coast Fly Fishers meeting featured former club president, and current FOP Lodge liaison, Mark Patterson, who presented the club with a thank you letter for the members who helped clean up the lodge property after this year's hurricanes, and also to relay stories of the early days of MCFF, a fly pattern design credited to members of the club and to show his amazing rodbuilding handiwork! Another great meeting in the books, so I hope you'll join us for the next one! Second and third Monday of each month. All are welcome, and I'll be glad to save you a seat!

Tonight's MCFF Fly Tying meeting was presented al-fresco! Carl Sanders walked everyone through tying the Simpson's Shrimp, which utilizes an inverted tying technique, working from the eye to the bend. Lots of learning tonight! As always, all are welcome, and I'll be glad to save you seat!
