First Baptist Church of Natchitoches Gym
508 Second St., Natchitoches, LA
FREE admission
Building on the success of last year's inaugural event, the ArkLaTexOma Fly Tiers group (ALTO) is holding their 2nd annual "Flies & Pies" tying event in conjunction with the Natchitoches Meat Pie Festival. This year, the event will be held in a new location just a couple blocks from the heart of the Festival - which is an attraction all to itself.
Along
with some of the best fly tiers from across the region, the festival
will have presentations including: Jerald Lewis on Fly Fishing for
Bream, Burley
Johnson on Creating Bass Poppers, and Mike Hawkins on Making Furled
Leaders. The new location has an outdoor casting area as well. So if
you need a free casting lesson, or tune up, there will be two FFI
Certified Casting Instructors on hand.
While this event is FREE
to attend, the group will be taking up a Love Offering to present to
First Baptist Church for the use of their facilities.
