Merry Christmas and Joyous New Year!

Here's wishing all our Acadiana Fly Rodders club members and friends, and all of their families, a most blessed holiday season. Hope everyone finds something under the Christmas tree they can use for their piscatorial pursuits in the coming year.

While Christmas is a season of festivity, let's not forget the reason for the season: “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us….” John 1:14. Please be giving to those in need, and pray for those who are less fortunate, for those in suffering, and for those away from their families this season.

We also wish everyone a prosperous and healthy New Year.  With the new year brings a flurry of regional events - please see the Calendar page for the activities and dates.  Also, our club has a few things planned for early 2026, so stay tuned! 

 

December 2025 activities

AFR monthly meeting
Thursday, December 18th
6:00pm
Pack & Paddle (in the shop)
601 E. Pinhook, Lafayette
Open to the public!

This month we'll gather to tie flies and reminisce about the wonderful  times we've had fly fishing over the last year, so bring something to tie, a favorite beverage and some stories and we'll have some snacks to enjoy an evening of fellowship.

Also, bring your favorite fly for the year and we'll gamblers draw for swaps!  If you don't tie or are a new fly fisher, don't worry we'll have something for you as well!

Due to the Christmas holiday, there's no meeting this month. So enjoy Christmas with family and friends. Come January, we'll get back to tying.
