  Additionally, if any of you have a fly you would like to share please know that you’re more than welcome to do so. 

  Please know that we always have extra material in the club tying materials box, and that you should feel free to use them.

  Notes from Jack Bartell, THCFF fly-tying leader 

  "I'm an avid fly angler and fly tier. I especially enjoy tying flies designed for our Hill Country waters by local friends and fly fishers. And even more, enjoy fishing these flies for native fish. Our Club sponsors the "3rd Thursday" fly-tying night in Waring, TX (only a few hundred yards from the Guadalupe River). I hope to see you there.
