Calling All DFW Fly Tiers – Red River Rendezvous This Weekend
A Fly Tying Extravaganza #RedRiverFlyFishers #flytying
The Red River Fly Fishers will be hosting their annual Red River Rendezvous fly tying Extravaganza on January 26 & 27, 2018, at Eisenhower State Park on Lake Texoma.
This event is a great way to kick off the year, tie a good inventory of flies, visit with old friends and make new friends. There is always a wide range of fly tying experience levels from beginners to FFI Silver Award tiers. It’s a casual group with no set agenda, tie as much as you want, practice casting, or take your newest fly creation out on Lake Texoma, a world class striper fishery.
The fly tying is held in the Recreation hall inside Eisenhower State Park. It is a nice facility with a full kitchen, heat, and restrooms. The state park has nice campsites including some full hookups for RV’s. There are also several hotels in Sherman & Denison if you want to make a weekend of it. We will have a pot luck lunch on Saturday so bring your favorite dish to share. There has always been a lot of great food and a bunch of it!
There is no charge to attend this outing. Let the park staff know you are a participant and there will be no entry fee into the park. The schedule for the weekend looks like this:
- 3pm Friday, January 26, 2018, the doors open.
