Meeting next week, 2 things, maybe 3


Nimber 1...Bring flies if you have them for WaterWatch.

Number 2...SOFT Monthly Auction.   
Its time to clean out your tying bench, closets and supplies to make more room for Christmas presents!
We are always looking for donations for the Auction!
I will take any and all donations for the Auction!  Rods, Reels, Materials, Books or Tying Tools.

I appreciate all the donations and the Auction helps keep things running!

Number 3...Regarding our young fly tier; I tied black Wolly buggers with him a couple of days ago and he needs: bobbin, bodkin, black lighter weight thread, blackish hackle for size 8 & 6 buggers, hot wire-red or whatever wire someone has extra, black short shuck or black chenille with sparkle of some sort & # 8&6 hooks of the 2312 sort and flashabou. I will be teaching him how to tie a flashback pheasant tail and an BTO emerger next. I tie mine on a caddis or scud hook in size 10 &12 and if anyone has some, it would be greatly appreciated. He has the pheasant but will need Mylar & 3/32 beads(black, copper, brass ect.) & brown thread. He has peacock but will need the same scud/caddis hooks for the BTO emerger. Green/olive  floss, small partridge feathers and .015 lead. Keaton’s older brother (Braden) is 18 years old & I have helped him along in his fly fishing & is now going to college in Montana in Missoula. Anything that comes to Keaton in the way of double materials or tools will be distributed to Braden during this holiday season when he returns home from college on his break. It is so very cool of you all who have participated in helping Keaton to get started in this new venture. I can tell you first hand(and you can see for yourself on Tuesday because both he & his father Bill will be attending the meeting) that he is very excited! if you happen to have any of these or any other materials or tools for Keaton & Braden, I know that they will put them to good use. By the way , you should see how good these two kids can cast already! Thanks & tight lines-Mark Swanburg
