Fly Tying at the American Legion 7/23

Gary Steinmiller demoed how to tie the basic Wooly Bugger

22 vets and vols were on hand for a fly-tying production day to build up the ammo for our outings. We tied Woolly Buggers and Mini-Clousers.

We had our new camera system set up and we were fortunate to have Gary Steinmiller, the president of CFFA, demo how to tie the basic Woolly Bugger.

A Nice Turnout with 22 vets and vols onhand.

Here Hugh, our first vet to join the program displays his tying skills

This year we are doing a few more warm water outings and we were running out of flies for the group. The crew tied 71 flies for our upcoming first ever Smallies trip to the CT River.

On 8/5 we are headed to Kings Island in Enfield. The plan is to have 6 vets and 6 vols on an early morning outing, 6 AM until 10 AM.
