This season we will be meeting on scheduled Tuesday evenings from September through May. One Tuesday each month will be a social tie we call the "Tie One On", which is held at a different local establishment each month. Please see schedule below. Tuesday nights are the opportunity to learn something new! Typically, one of our members will teach us how to tie a new fly pattern...or demonstrate a new technique. Several times a year, "celebrity" fly tyers and other fly fishing experts join us to share their knowledge and expertise. Past guests have included prominent tyers such as A.K. Best, Bob Clouser, Oliver Edwards, April Volkey, Pat Cohen, Gunnar Brammer, and Kelly Galloup.. We also welcome speakers of local interest; in fact, you just might learn how to find Muskies on the Fox River (yes, our Fox River)! If you are interested in joining us, please fill out an application and return to: DRiFT P.O. Box 5028 Wheaton, IL 60189.
PJ Smith, owner of PJ's Guide Service (https://pjguideservice.com/ ) will be discussing how to fish the Driftless winters. Sounds crazy? How about fishing when there's nobody else around? No biting insects? No overgrown brush between you and the stream? Here what PJ has to say about all of that and more!
Following PJ's presentation he will lead us on a tie of Pine Squirrel Rubber Leg Jiggy Nymph Streamer
