FILL-A-BOX CHALLENGE 2020

ST. PAUL FLY TIERS FUNDRAISER

Flies Tied by Club Members

Last year we ended up filling four (4) fly boxes to help promote the club and raise a few bucks for our projector, educational fly tying materials, and upcoming club expenses. We also used one of these trout boxes as a donation to the River Falls Film Festival. They were quite a number of raffle tickets in the bucket, it was full!

Some members signed up to donate 6 flies, some donated more. These flies are something we are proud of, neatly tied, and high-quality. We are representing the Club and want to be proud of the flies in these boxes. If you are new to fly tying, give it a shot next time! Club members are willing to help you out if you have questions on tying a certain fly or are stuck.

“There’s always a hot new fly. Precious few of these patterns are genuine breakthroughs destined to last for a hundred years, but more often they’re idle comments on existing traditions, explorations of half-baked theories, attempts to use new and interesting materials, to impress other tiers, or excuses to rename old patterns.
