Advanced Casting Clinic this Saturday

There are still two spots open for the Advanced Casting Clinic this Saturday, September 25th.  The clinic is open to all members of Kisatchie Fly Fishers.  There is no cost.  Seats were limited to twelve persons, to insure a quality learning experience for attendees.

Jeff Ferguson, a master casting instructor, evaluator and member, FFI Casting Board of Governors, (and also a member of KFF) will be instructor.  Roger Breedlove and Chris Perkins worked with Jeff to set up a program, secure a casting site and a briefing room at the Westside Library.  Details are in an email sent out by Chris.  If you did not receive this email, please contact Chris at 

The program is planned to run from 9:00 am  to 3:00 pm off Versaille. This clinic will be an outstanding opportunity to learn fly casting techniques along with thought provoking insights into rationales behind various casts in fly fishing.  This is a great opportunity to learn from a master fly casting instructor.  Come out, enjoy it, and say thanks to Jeff, Roger and Chris.

September 13th fly tying - Sandbar Mullet

* Currently, masks are required of all individuals when indoors at the library

* Remote members can participate via the Zoom app on any PC, tablet, or smartphone.  Enter the meeting ID and password to join in.  Email Bill Morrison to request.

For this session, Bill Morrison will lead the group in tying a version of Nick Vlaho's Sandbar Mullet. Nick is a tyer and fly designer from Baton Rouge and sells his flies through Orvis and sandbarflies.com.  The folks at the Baton Rouge Orvis store love this pattern, and consider the purple version a killer redfish fly.

As always, beginners and guests are welcome! For Zoom participants, materials will be mailed out in advance. For those in attendance, materials will be distributed.  For those who don't have vises and tools, the club has sets for use during the session.
