We had another great meeting and a good turn out. We Elected our new Officers and board of directors and made final plans for our year end dinner.

We had 13 members volunteer to man our booth at the Fly Tying Symposium held in Somerset New Jersey, this weekend.

We had a special treat. Chuck Furimsky, Director of the show had some guests that will be at the show this weekend and they were so kind as to come to our monthly meeting and give us presentations.

We had Three super guests. A.K. Best, Ed Engle, and Theo Bakelaar. Ed and A.k. showed slides and talked about fly fishing in their home area as well as appreciating your surroundings while fishing. Theo showed new techniques for tying, using hot glue.

Ray...use hot glue for what...how???????

The tier made a mold where you insert the hook with some tied material and then inject the hot glue into it and it forms something that looks like a surf candy body. He would then paint it with sparkling nail polish etc. Interesting to see. Think I will use the silly skin or epoxy, but it does work.
