Our Chapter Gathering – Join us in-person!
This meeting will be at the Fort Collins Senior Center in Prairie Sage 1
Our chapter’s November Gathering will be our Annual Business Meeting one important activity will be electing the Board Officers and Directors at Large for the 2025 chapter activities year.
At our membership meetings this year we plan to take some time for our newer members to meet other chapter members. And hopefully start developing new friendships and meeting new fishing friends. Join us at 6:30 for socializing, the meeting kicks off at 7:00. We hope you will be there!
Our speaker for the meeting will be Boyd Wright from CPW. He will be giving us an update on the effort to restore Greenback Cutthroat Trout. This will be a very interesting presentation!
Our attendance at our monthly meetings has been low – we are averaging about 25 people. I’m mentioning this in hopes that some of you may start attending again. Prior to COVID, we used to have 40 - 50 people attend our meetings. We have some good speakers lined up, but it is hardly worth their time to come to Fort Collins to speak to us with such low attendance. So, we hope to see more of you at future meetings. - Mark Miller
November Chapter Gathering Fly Swap
The fly for the November Chapter Gathering Fly Swap is a fall favorite: The Blue WingedOlive (BWO)/Baetis fly. Chose to tie either a BWO dry fly or a Baetis nymph (size 18 or 20). These little flies work well during prolific hatches in the October/November timeframe.
Please let Dave Morse know, using the email link button below, if you would like to tie a fly for the swap. If you signed up at the October meeting, you're all set. As usual, tie enough copies of your fly so everyone will get one of yours. In return, you will get one from each other tier. Include a little recipe or toe tag attached to your fly with details of what materials were used. Submit your flies at the start of the November meeting and they will be sorted for all participants. We typically have 6 to 8 participants, but Dave Morse will let you know the right number a week before the meeting.
