Acadiana Bugs & Brews is an open community fly tying event usually held the fourth Thursday of each month. Though not affiliated with Acadiana Fly Rodders, several club members are usually on hand to assist any beginners. Bring your favorite beverage to Bugs & Brews, and enjoy a cold one while tying and sharing fishing tales. Attendees can tie whatever flies they want. However, we usually have a featured tier who demonstrates a particular fly, and attendees can join in to tie that pattern. Materials are provided.
This month, Pat Bienvenu will demonstrate the Popping Flats Shrimp from Backwater Fly Fishing. It's a great pattern for specks and reds as Fall begins. Come early and get in a little retail therapy at our fine sponsors in Pack & Paddle.
