3rd Annual Holiday Box Swap
Wednesday, December 17th
7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Rally Cap Brewing
11212 Pennywood Ave, Baton Rouge, LA
The holiday season is upon us, and that means it’s time for our 3rd Annual Flies & Flights Holiday Box Swap! The swap is open to tyers of all skill levels and is a great opportunity to share some of your favorite patterns with other group members.
Last year’s Swap drew 20 participants from RSFF & NOFFC and included boxes containing everything from panfish and trout flies to articulated streamers, marsh patterns, and deer hair bass bugs.

All you need to do to participate is:
- Purchase a New Fly Box (great chance to support our local Fly Shops!)
- Tie up a batch of your favorite patterns (i.e. minimum of 12 panfish flies or 6 saltwater patterns for example)
- Wrap your Flies & Box in Christmas wrap and bring it to F&F on 12/18.
- Once everyone has added their wrapped box to the pile, we'll draw straws and open as a White Elephant style gift exchange
Come enjoy some great brews, subs, and/or pizza at Rally Cap. While we don’t have a featured pattern for this month, we’ll have tools, vises, and materials available for anyone interested in learning. Looking forward to seeing everyone there!
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!
