A fun and informal chapter gathering on Tuesday, January 13, 2026

The popular Fly Tying Jamboree is returning for our January meeting. Whether or not you tie flies, you’ll leave with some new ideas and ways to improve your fishing. If you do tie flies, please bring your vise, light and select hooks & materials to demonstrate tying your favorite fly, and include a few stories. Flies tied that night will be part of a special raffle with the proceeds going to support our free fly tying classes. The Fly Tying Jamboree will be a fun, relaxed, educational and conversational evening.

Monthly chapter meetings typically start at 7 pm, but for the Fly Tying Jamboree arrive anytime after 5:30 for setting up your fly tying station, ordering food, drinks and socializing. As always, the meeting will be held at Schwoegler’s Lanes.

We’ll hold a brief (we promise) business meeting about 7 and then back to fly tying.

For anyone who has wondered if fly tying is a) learnable, b) productive, and c) fun, please attend this meeting. You’ll see some great and fun fly tying and have the chance to tie a fly yourself. Yes indeed, you can leave the meeting with a fly you tied, guaranteed by SWTU to catch fish.
