July 2025 activities

Ongoing this month: club raffle for a great cause!

A reminder that we currently have a raffle for a great cause!  Red Stick Fly Fishers is raising funds to help purchase fly rod outfits for Casting for Recovery’s Southeast regional events, teaming up with our friends with the New Orleans and Kisatchie clubs - each of whom has already raised over $1,000 through their club raffles!

To support the effort, Brian Roberts has generously donated a custom 6-wt fly rod built specifically for this cause. Here are the details:

•     9’ 6-weight fly rod
•     Ideal for bass, but also great for trout or light saltwater fishing
•     Medium-fast action (hard to find and fun to cast!)
•     Built with a full wells grip and fighting butt

Raffle tickets are $10 each.  The drawing will take place at the August 11th meeting.  You can check out the rod in person - Brian will be bringing to all upcoming RSFF events so you can cast it yourself and see the craftmanship up close!

How to buy tickets:
- Cash
- Checks payable to RSFF
- Venmo (contact Brian at roberts.brian84@gmail.com for details)

Only 100 tickets will be sold, and as of this posting, less than 3 dozen remain. So don't procrastinate!

* Bluebonnet Regional Branch Library

Featured Patterns: Sam's One Bug

* Please note: as of June, RSFF fly tying sessions are now held at the Bluebonnet Regional Library *

This month, Brad Dunne leads us through a tutorial of Sam’s One Bug — a durable, topwater foam fly originally created by Craig “Sam” Blevins in the 1980s for bass and panfish. Designed to outlast traditional balsa poppers, it uses closed-cell foam for a buoyant, crack-resistant body and features silicone legs and a marabou tail for irresistible surface action. 

Known for catching over 100 fish on a single fly, it’s been passed down and refined by Sam’s son, Wade Blevins. Though not commercially available, the pattern is widely shared among fly tiers and remains a favorite for its simplicity, effectiveness, and longevity.  Don’t miss out on your opportunity to add this must have pattern to your summer streamer box.

As usual, beginners and guests are welcome!  Tools, vises and materials are available for use during this session for those looking to learn.

Registration links are at:  www.ffigulfcoastclassic.com.

We have a great lineup of seminars, demonstration fly tiers, casting clinics and tying workshops and much more planned.  Many of our tiers are nationally-recognized and some are even professional tiers!  In the many years of GCC "conclaves", this might be one of the best group of tiers we've ever had.  Several of our tiers will be leading workshops as well.

Later this week, we'll be updating the list of seminars and exhibitors on our Classic webpage.. Our seminar topics cover a wide range of fishing opportunities, from bluegill and bass to tarpon and speckled trout to Louisiana redfish and more.  In addition, we have speakers on conservation topics, including the Director of Alabama's Marine Fisheries Division, and our Friday Keynote Speaker, William Strickland of Mobile Baykeepers!

There's also an incredible array of raffle and silent auction items courtesy of our amazing sponsors.  And our always popular "Mixed Bag" fishing contest - it's FREE entry with registration!
