Pack & Paddle (in the shop)
601 E. Pinhook, Lafayette
Open to the public!
This month we'll begin the meeting by briefly discussing our recent Fly Fish 101 efforts and possible improvements for the Spring.
Then we'll tie a fly - Jack Gartside's Sparrow. This is a classic fly that Jack designed to be nothing in particular and yet a bit of everything. It's a bit nymph, baitfish, or hopper depending how you fish it and it's as effective here on our warmwater species as the coldwater trout Jack designed it for. I've even heard folks talk about larger sizes catching in the salt.
We'll also have tools and materials so don't hesitate to join if you are new. We are happy to assist new tiers anytime. As always, the public is welcome.
Acadiana Bugs & Brews
Due to the holidays, there's no meeting this month or next. Enjoy Thanksgiving and Christmas and we'll get back to tying in the new year.
REMINDERS:
Please check our Facebook page as well as the FFI Gulf Coast Council Facebook page for latest info on possible changes to the state's Menhaden Exclusion Zone, and any actions that may be needed to protect our coastal fisheries.
Also, please note that Arkansas has temporarily changed some of the trout regulations due to hatchery issues that will likely reduce stockings over the next year. This will impact stockings on the Little Missouri River as well. Consider this if planning any trips this winter.
