Fly Tying Intro

Dr. Phil is going to demonstrate fly tying for May 28 meeting at the Clubhouse.

He will tie a Black Micro Bunny that he learned from Jay Levine as a demonstration pattern.

This fly is the best for juvy tarpon, but also irresistible to snook.

Also good in olive. Can make body white but the tie technique is a bit different.

He put the list of ingredients on WhatsApp Chat.

Email or message me if you want to join the chat.

If you tie your own flys then contribute to the discussion and learn too.

We will do Chili Dogs with Chips and Slaw for Memorial Day celebration.

Untangle my Baitcaster

Tuesday evening May 14, 7:30 pm, is the meeting for South Dade Anglers.

There have been discussions about baitcasters.

Lucas got one that claims it cannot jam.  Mine always winds up in a tangle. Maybe someone can help me?

Seriously, you guys that are comfortable with them be willing to help us or at least tell us we need to replace what we have.

David is making pulled pork sandwiches with coleslaw and kale salad. Lucas has offered to bring desert.

We can also plan an outing for May. I have a conflict on May 18, so maybe Saturday May 25th? Maybe the Jack Hole based on weather and tide conditions.

Ok, so lets have one of our focused discussions Tuesday evening. See you there.
