Rapides Westside Library, 5416 Provine, Alexandria
** Note: Due to the library closure for the MLK holiday, we're meeting on Tuesday this month **
We'll be tying two patterns this month. The Dragon Tail Streamer and the Christmas Tree.
Dragon Tail patterns are the hottest new flies on the planet. Made of a chenille-like material tapered down to a fine point, it was originated by David Magnum, a renown tarpon guide on the northwest Florida Gulf Coast. While Dragon Tail flies have proven effective for tarpon, they've also been the new favorite for bass, pike, musky, pickeral and other predatory species.
The Christmas Tree fly is a simpler version of the Fluff Butt. For those new members who are interested in learning fly tying, this pattern is a great one to start with. It comes to us from Burley Johnson in Natchitoches and has proven a killer on rainbow trout, bream, and crappie.
Beginners and guests are welcome. If you don't have tools, the club has a few sets for use during the session. Materials will be provided.
