Snow Day- Great Day to Tie one On!

Tying on a PMX- Ready for Battle

Flies of the Arkansas River- Fly Tying Seminar- Febuary 4th- Charlies Flybox

Come one, Come all- I will be tying Flies of the Arkansas River at Charlies Flybox

this Satuarday, Febuary 4th. Tagged as "Simple but Effective" the seminar will feature

flies that catch fish, but do not take 45 minutes to tie. You can afford to loose a few out of the boat

without loosing your wallet too.

I have not tied at Charlies in several years, look forward to the experience and seeing some old new faces.

Thanks for having me, Charlie! 

Smith River Permits Submitted- 2012

Well application is off for a couple of draw dates, the rosary is out, prayers are being said 

daily and the plastic Jesus is on the dashboard. Can we get drawn for our 8th trip down

the fabulous Smith River.  I sure as hell hope so, sure do like the "old lady". She has 

shown us her best and certain her worst over the years, but you just can't say no!

 With stunning wall like this to look at for 5 days, I can go again.

Smith River Yacht Club
