This month we’ll tie Kelly Galloup’s Cougar Minnow, which is a small fly that can be part minnow and part hopper. It’s pretty simple, but will give us a chance to tie a deer hair head, something that can intimidate newer tiers. This fly doesn’t require tightly packed hair with multiple bunches. So it's a good place to start or practice. If you're a good deer hair tier, you can help folks learn and get a great fly as well. So everyone bring your vise and tools, materials will be provided.
As always guests are welcome! Come early to get in a bit of retail therapy at Pack & Paddle.

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 Dirk Burton's Tussle Bug. A great bluegill fly for the spring. It's a pattern that uses an overhand knot weave to produce a great segmented body.
As always we’ll have materials and extra tools, so beginners are welcome. Come early and get in a little retail therapy at our fine sponsors in Pack & Paddle.
