AFR monthly meeting
Thursday, February 20th
6:00pm
Pack & Paddle Outpost (behind P&P)
601 E. Pinhook, Lafayette
Join us this month for a discussion and demo on hand furled leaders. While our leader is important in delivering the fly to the target and allowing the fly to be presented naturally, we are constantly looking to make improvements while keeping things simple.
Enter the furled leader. We’ll make a hand furled leader and discuss the pros and cons so you can see how this compares to other leaders and if this option fits your fly fishing needs.
As always guests are welcome! Come early to get in a bit of retail therapy at Pack & Paddle.
Acadiana Bugs & Brews
Thursday, February 27th
6:00pm
Pack & Paddle Outpost, 601 E. Pinhook, Lafayette
Open to the public
Acadiana Bugs & Brews is an open community fly tying event. While not affiliated with AFR, several of our members participate. Bring your favorite beverage, and enjoy a cold one while tying and sharing fishing tales. Join in tying a featured pattern, or bring your own fly to tie.
This month our featured pattern will be the Balanced Leech. It was to be our featured pattern in January, but with the snow storm we decided to be prudent and cancel AB&B. So we'll pick it back up for this month.
As always we’ll have materials and extra tools, so join us Thursday February 27th at the Outpost behind the shop. Come early and get in a little retail therapy at our fine sponsors in Pack & Paddle.
