WNY Fly Fishing - Local Event
 Next General Meeting: Tuesday, January 31st 2023
Our next general meeting and speaker series will be held on Tuesday, January 31st at the Orvis location in the Eastern Hills Mall on Transit Rd. in Clarence. Fly Tying and social time starts at 6pm with the meeting and workshop at 7pm. January features Scott Cornett from NYS DEC with his annual "State of the Streams" presentation. As always we'll be recording this workshop to post to our YouTube channel for those who are unable to make it.
We'll also be drawing for the winner of the 4wt Orvis HLS Graphite Rod and raffle tickets will be available at the meeting for those who haven't had a chance to purchase yet.
The folks at Orvis are gracious hosts, staying open well past closing time for our meetings. Please keep in mind that the store remains open to ALL during our meetings so if you were thinking of picking up some gear or doing some shopping it's a great time to do so as well.
Hope to see you on the 31st. |
