RSFF Casting Clinic - CANCELLED!
Saturday, August 9th
Weather permitting, we'll hold our next one in September.
Monday, August 11th
7:00pm - 9:00pm
Bluebonnet Regional Branch Library
9200 Bluebonnet Blvd, Baton Rouge, LA
Topic: Building Furled Leaders with Sydney Dobson
For those unfamiliar with Furled Leaders, these leaders are constructed by twisting together multiple strands of monofilament to create a tapered, rope-like structure. Furled leaders are known for their flexibility, low memory, good turnover, and ability to provide a drag-free drift.
Sydney Dobson will show us how to create your own furled leaders. Here's an opportunity to learn a new skill and save on the cost and hassle of constantly purchasing pre-packaged leaders.
Visitors are welcome! Reminder that when you arrive at the Bluebonnet Library, please enter through the main entrance, the club will have signs up directing you where to go.
For those wishing to attend remotely, a separate email will be sent the morning of meeting with log-in instructions.
Wednesday, August 20th
7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Rally Cap Brewing
11212 Pennywood Ave, Baton Rouge, LA
Featured Pattern: TBD
While we haven’t settled on a featured pattern as of yet, you can be sure the beer will be cold, pizza will be hot and delicious, and plenty of fish stories will be shared. As always, we’ll have materials on hand for anyone interested in participating.
Everyone is welcome! Come enjoy some great brews, subs, and/or pizza at Rally Cap. We’ll have tools, vises, and materials available, so don’t hesitate to join us if you’re looking to learn!
F&F is an independent collective of tiers just looking to tie and enjoy a social gathering with some fine brews. While not affiliated with Red Stick, it was hatched by a few club members as an alternative to a traditional meeting environment. Everyone is welcome!
Monday, August 25th
7:00pm - until
* Bluebonnet Regional Branch Library
9200 Bluebonnet Blvd, Baton Rouge, LA
Featured Patterns: Tube Flies
* Please note: as of June, RSFF fly tying sessions are now held at the Bluebonnet Regional Library *
This month, Sydney Dobson leads us through a tutorial on how to tie tube flies. Tied on a tube instead of a traditional hook shank, this style of fly design offers several advantages, including versatility in hook choice, ease of changing hook styles and sizes, and the ability to protect the fly from damage during a fight with a fish. Sydney will be tying an articulated squid as an example. No need for a special vise, a simple jig will be provided.
As usual, beginners and guests are welcome! Tools, vises and materials are available for use during this session for those looking to learn.
Sackup for Clean Water
No #SackUp this month, but RSFF’s waterway cleanup event will be back next month as Conservation Chair, Robinson Almeida, has a collaborative event with our friends at CRCL in the works. Stay tuned for more details.
