Hello All,
It appears we have some creativity in our midst. Thanks for all
the contest entries last month. We decided to award two winners
instead of just one because of their insightful 10 top reasons for
"catch and release". They can come in to pick up their
C&F boxes. Click here for contest
results.
Here's what's going on this month:
- We still have a couple spots open for Jack Dennis's fly tying
clinic. Click
here for more info.
- We have the new Sage fly rods in: The TXL, FLI and the "Launch".
Also check out lots of new packs and bags from Fishpond, and the
new portable Made 2 Fly tying desk.
- We are setting dates for saltwater destination trips. We have
some good value trips this year so please inquire if you're interested.
And for our holiday plug. The staff of FRA is committed to helping
your significant other purchase the best quality, cost-effective
fly fishing holiday gift you cannot live without. If you want to
ensure that you're not going to get that wicker creel or a fancy
new fish stringer this holiday, just send them our way and we'll
do the rest!
Happy Holidays! Bill |

FLY TYING
|
• Getting
Started: You've decided that its high time to join the growing ranks
of fly tiers but you're not sure about the tools and materials.
|
|
|
| • Fly Nymphs:
Here's a generic pattern that works exceedingly well as a nymph or wet fly. |
|
|
• PT Brassie: Simplicity
and productivity are the two words that come to mind when describing the
PT Brassie. Having a few on hand for the Dream Stream would be a smart move.
|
|
|
• Czech Nymphs:
Maybe you've read or heard about Czech or European Nymphs and how to fish
them -click
here for the FRA July newsletter story - Here's a look at how these
deadly patterns are constructed.
|
|
|
• Fly Tying Material
of the Month - Estaz: It’s hard to beat Estaz as a body material
- we've just stocked a new range of great colors from Spirit River.

DESTINATIONS
|
| • Sanibel Island: Bill
spent part of his Thanksgiving break this year checking out this unique
island off this coast of Florida. It's 70% wildlife preserve and excellent
fishing. |
