This is a casual outing that is at your own expense. So grab a friend and fish the afternoon hatch, and stop by the El Paso bar for tall tales and fish stories of the day’s adventure.

Directions:

94 E > WI Hwy 63 south > WI Hwy 29 east at Red Barn gas/ store> Cty N south (about a mile). Follow N until you cross the Rush, the bar will be about 1 block past the bridge on your right.

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.
Questions: timelscott@gmail.com or (574) 538-1936

ABOUT THE 2019 “TIE-A-THON:” On April 13^th, fly tiers from various Fly Fishers International and Trout Unlimited Clubs from around the Great Lakes region will come together for the 13^th annual Tie-a-Thon to tie and donate flies benefitting The Mayfly Project (mentoring foster children through fly fishing) and Camp Kita (a camp for child survivors of parental suicide.

St. Paul Fly Tiers Fundraiser

Fill-Box-Challenge

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.19.9″]

We will be filling two fly boxes to help promote the club and raise a few bucks for our projector, educational fly tying materials, and upcoming club expenses. These fly boxes will be on display for raffle at various functions this spring. We are also hoping to gather names for our mail list and membership drive with this raffle.

We are asking all that receive this email to sign-up to donate 6 flies. These flies must be something you are proud of, neatly tied, and your best effort. Please no rejects, left-overs, or junk flies. We are representing the Club and want to be proud of the flies in these boxes. If you are new to fly tying, give it a shot! Club members are willing to help you out if you have questions on tying a certain fly or are stuck.

We will be doing a trout box and a streamer box. We ask you tie and donate 6 of the same dry fly or nymph for the trout box. For the streamer box, it is OK to do 3 of one and 3 of another. Streamers should be in the large trout or bass sizes.

For sign-up to donate your 6 flies, please contact Greg Meyer at stpaulflytiers@gmail.com. Please indicate your contact info and what flies you will be tying.
