This month, we are requesting each attendee bring one example of their favorite fly.  Preferably one tied by themselves.  We'll put all the flies together and the lucky winner will go home with them.

Flip will bring boudin and cracklins for snacks.  Everyone is encouraged to bring their favorite beverage.  This will be sort of a Christmas Party.  We'll share some of our favorite fishing stories of the past year.
