We hope that you can join us to watch John Pilmer tie a deer hair bug. He is an expert in spinning and forming great deer hair bug patterns.
The fly tying session will be on Tuesday, February 17, 2015 at Bass Pro Shop's meeting room to the right of the restaurant entrance.
The tying session is free for RGVFTC members in good standing and will be $3.00 for non-members. Come and join us.

January 2015 Update
Life gets in the way of fun sometimes, but we managed to hold our RGVFTC social this past Saturday, January 17th. We enjoyed great conversation with our fly tying friends and the help of food and beverages. It was great to just sit back and catch up.
We all know that a party can't be complete without Linn's and Sheala's cookies. I got help with the wine selection and couldn't have asked for a more relaxing time. We were very blessed to have old friends and the opportunity to meet new friends. Dolly Castillo, Bill DiLibero, and Vicki Leggett joined us as new friends.
Mike Gonzalez, Sheala Castillo, Harry Leggett, Charlie Villareal, Linn Keller, Jack Keller, Irma Ramirez, Placida Zuniga, Robert Ramirez, and Yizza Ramirez helped to share the caloric wealth. Unfortunately, Rudy and Mary Castaneda weren't able to find the location and we truly missed their humor and conversation.
We had a quick discussion about the upcoming activities like the Sand Dune Restoration planting event on January 31st, the Ed Rizolo Fly Tying Festival scheduled for February 7th, and the Texas Expo 2015 in May. More information about these events can be found by clicking HERE.
The club will be investigating several places where we can hold family functions and training events. We're planning on meeting after the planting event at the end of the month. Hopefully, we can come up with a good schedule of events. Also, we have begun the post the next few fly tying sessions. The schedule is up website and will continue to be developed.
We need to start our reporting project and get this over to the IFFF soon.
Happy New Year and let's make this the best ever for the club.

Dune Restoration Project - Saturday, January 31, 2015
The Rio Grande Valley Fly Tyers Club will again be helping to restore South Padre Island dunes on Saturday, January 31, 2015.
Please come out and volunteer to support the city's effort to continue enhancing our continuous dune line.
We'll be meeting at the Bougainvillea beach access #14 at 9 a.m.
Beach erosion can be prevented with a well coordinated vegetation propagation effort. This is not only a great public service, but its a wonderful way to show our children what it means to care about our environment. And it's fun!
For more information about the event, contact Sheala Castillo at shealacastillo@gmail.com.

Rio Grande Valley Fly Tyer's Social
Thanks to all of you for understanding why I postponed the last social event. We're hoping that this Saturday, January 17th @ 6:30 p.m. would be a good time to try again. We'll be meeting at my home (31940 Cactus Road, San Benito, Texas).
We'll have a great botana platter, chips, and sweets for everyone. You may want to bring your favorite refreshment. However, we'll have sodas and water available.
We're planning our club activities and hope to have a discussion of what you want to see in 2015. Bring your ideas, but most of all yourself and significant other.
Hope to see you there. Please pass out the word to our club members. Please RSVP by either texting me (956-63-3426) or emailing me (reyram49@gmail.com).
I'm going to announce it on the Ning, Facebook, RGVFTC (http://rgvftc.blogspot.com/) Blog, and RGVFTC (www.riograndeflytyers.org) Website.
