Help out: Donate flies for State Council spring banquet
Our State Council of TU does a great deal of good and one of the ways they do so is through their spring banquet. Each banquet features a silent auction with f fly boxes filled with a variety of tasty trout patterns. Responsibility for donating flies rotates each year, and the southern area chapters (including SWTU) are now up. (The Northeast chapters did an amazing job on the boxes last year and raised a lot of money.)
If everybody who ties could spend some time at the vice to spin out some flies to donate, we’ll have plenty of flies in no time and with no huge effort by anyone. Read More
