Flies & Flights - Weds, January 17th

Where: Rally Cap Brewing (11212 Pennywood Ave, Baton Rouge, LA)

When: Wednesday, January 17th (7pm til close)

Join us this Wednesday for our first monthly Flies & Flights of 2024, hosted by Rally Cap Brewing.  This month we’ll be tying up some Hare’s Ear Nymph variants (a mainstay of trout & panfish boxes everywhere)!  Tools, vises and materials are available for those looking to learn, so please 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!

Looking forward to seeing everyone Wednesday!

MEETING POSTPONED DUE TO THE RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER

 Due to the risk of severe weather, the RSFF Board has elected to postpone this evening's General Meeting.

Please check back for announcements regarding the rescheduled time and date.

 

Stay safe and dry this evening!!

Merry Christmas!

Here's wishing our members and friends, and all of their families, a most blessed Christmas!  Hopefully Santa will put something under the tree that helps us catch more fish - or at least make the trip more enjoyable!

At the same time, let's remember the reason for the season.  Please be generous to those in need, and pray for those in suffering or distress, and for those away from their families this season - especially our service men and women.

Look for details of the 2024 Jambalaya Challenge in the next week as it kicks off on January 1st.
