Colorado Women Flyfishers
Edward “Ed” Saindon Memorial Tie-A-Thon
The Colorado Women’s Flyfishers are hosting a tie-a-thon in Ed Saindon’s memory and our members can be involved.
As an avid fly fisherman, Trout Unlimited member, and fly tier, Ed’s family donated his collection of tying materials to Colorado Women Flyfishers (CWF) to support the CWF educational programs. CWF will use these materials to teach fly tying skills to women in the club and donate the flies to support the Tie-a-Thon. www.colowomenflyfishers.org
The flies donated in Ed’s name go to a fantastic organization and are a legacy to his memory and to the children in this sport.
HOW YOU CAN HELP: Tie (or buy) 100 flies of the same pattern and donate to the National “Tie-A-Thon” in honor of Ed. See the list of flies organizers ask to be tied or purchased. Submit the registration form to organizers stating the pattern of flies you have committed to donate (and t-shirt requested size).
Mail flies BEFORE APRIL 13TH: Tim Scott, 711 Forest Ave, South Bend, IN 46616.
