Well it's 2017 and time for another year of fun and frolics with the Fly Chuckers Group.
As usual we will meet for breakfast at 8-9 at Como Dockside. Sometime after 9 we will retreat to the lower level tying emporium. You are welcome to bring your fly tying stuff if you want to tie. Maybe we can get Ernie to share his secret foam popper with us (I have plenty of hooks :-) The secret to this fly is the foam I will try to dig some up (Evezote works much better than craft foam). If you don't want to tie that is okay too. Bring stories to share. It's going to be cold so I don't think I'm going to bring the TV (but I might).
