Fly tying prodigy

At our November meeting, Catch mentioned having met a young fly tier on his recent trips to Mountain Home, Arkansas (at the IFFF Southern Fly Fishing Fair) and Townsend, Tennessee (at the Fly Tiers Weekend).  His name is Tradd Little.  He's mastered everything from dry flies to deer hair to salmon flies to realistic patterns.  And the most amazing part - Tradd is only 12 years old!

Here's a link to his website - traddsflies.blogspot.com.  It shows all of the flies that Tradd ties, and there's even step-by-step instructions for some of his favorites. 

November 23rd general meeting

Our last general meeting of the year will be on Monday, November 23, at the Rapides Westside Library in Alexandria. Meeting starts at 6:30pm.

For this meeting, we'll have Kenny Robertson as our guest speaker.  Kenny is a wildlife agent for the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries.  He's also president of the Cotile Lake Environmental Association (CLEAN) that is working to improve recreational and family activities at the lake.  Kenny will talk about fishing and boating regulations, and safety on the water.  He will also talk about CLEAN and some of the projects and activities they are working on.

Also on the agenda:  fishing reports, upcoming events, nominations for the 2016 board, and details on the December Christmas Party at Tunks. 

As always, the public is welcome.

November 16 fly tying

Our last fly tying session of 2015 will be Monday, November 16, at the Rapides Westside Libary in Alexandria. Time is 6:30pm.

This month's pattern will be the Y2K Bugger.  It's a variation of the Yuk Bugger - half woolybugger, half Yuk Bug.  It's called Y2K because it was created in 1999, and at the time, had to be Y2K compliant and ISO 9000 approved.  Species: it's great for bass, bream, crappie and all species of trout.

As always, beginners are welcome. Bring your tools if you have some, materials will be provided.  The club has a few toolsets for those without tools.
