Higa's SOS

For the 2024-2025 season we are changing the event to evenings on the First Monday of the month.

This months Pub & Dub will be Monday, Feb 3rd at 6:00 PM in the loft area at the rear of the taproom at the Gilded Goat Brewery and Taproom, 3500 S. College Ave in Fort Collins.  Come and join us for an evening of socialization, swapping fish stories from your summer and maybe even learning a new pattern. 

“Pub and Dub” is a free event hosted by the Rocky Mountain Flycasters TU Chapter for members and friends to meet, have a beverage and tie flies. Marty Staab will designate a “Fly of the Month”, and the Chapter provides all tying materials (vises and tools as needed) along with video tying instructions on the big screen TV. Tyers of all abilities are welcome, and first time tyers will find themselves surrounded by others happy to assist. 

Please RSVP to Marty (Pub-n-Dub@rmftu.org) before each session, and let him know if you need a loaner vise or tools.

Please thank and support our hosts at Gilded Goat Brewery and Taproom by purchasing a beverage.

Higa's SOS

Many mayfly nymphs get quite dark colored prior to emergence. Here's a combination attractor/ imitation fly to serve as your black mayfly nymph. It's also a good imitation of the black winter stoneflies that get active in late winter.
