There's been no changes in the Big Stick contest, but that's about to change with cooler weather. Bigger bass are more active again, along with bull reds and larger trout moving into the interior marshes. Be sure to bring your measuring board next time you’re on the water!

Featured Pattern: TBD
Join us for this month’s Flies & Flights at Rally Cap Brewing, on Wednesday, October 21st from 7-9pm. We haven’t settled on a pattern just yet, but I’m sure we’ll have something cooked up before the date rolls around.
Whether you’re a seasoned tier or new to the vise, come hang out, sip some craft brews, and tie a fly with the community.
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!
