Guadalupe One Fly 2017 postponed!!!

Guadalupe One Fly 2017, UPDATED
“In the interest of safety, we must postpone/cancel the Guadalupe River One Fly. scheduled for  Saturday, January 21st. The GBRA has announced river flow of appox. 600 cfs as of 1PM today. It is doubtful that the river flow will return to normal (300 CFS) before Saturday. Even 400 would be fishable, but 500+ is too risky for all but the most experienced waders. As I have a prior commitment next weekend, I cannot lead a make-up then. Please contact Puck if you are interested in helping lead the event.

Annual Dr. Ed Rizzolo Fly Tying Festival February 11th

Texas FlyFishers

Houston, Texas

October 30, 2016

Dear Fellow Fly Tyer,

Well, it’s that time of year again and, I’m proud to announce that on Saturday, February 11th, 2017, the Texas FlyFishers will celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Annual Dr. Ed Rizzolo Fly Tying Festival and I would like to extend you an invitation to be part of this great event. The Festival will take place in the auditorium at the Bethany Christian Church, 3223 Westheimer Road in Houston, Texas, from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm, with lunch and refreshments provided for the tyers.

Joining us at this year’s Festival will be David Nelson of White Plains, NY. If you’re not familiar with David’s flies, the best way I can describe them is flatwing flies, with a flair. David’s patterns and tying style have also been featured in David Klausmeyer’s book Striper Bass Flies, Patterns of the Pros and Bob Popovic’s latest publication Fleye Design: Techniques, Insights, Patterns. You can also find out more about David’s style of tying and his patterns on his website www.squimpishflies.com .

From its humble beginnings in 1993, the Festival has grown into one of the areas premier events, consistently attracting the top fly tiers from all over the country. This event could not be the success it is without the participation of tyers like you. With your support, it is our hope that the Fly Tying Festival will continue to grow in size and reputation. Please make plans on being of this great event.

Regards,

Chris Sumers

Event Chairman

Please send in your RSVP by January 7, 2017 to Raymond Lindeen at raymond@houstonanalytical.com or, to me at Csumers@comcast.net .
