We are putting together a box of flies from the Beer Tying group for the TFF fundraiser on 10-26-25. Please consider donating 3-5 flies.
From the TFF Chapter:
We have a lot of talented and creative fly tiers in TFF tying all types and styles of flies. We have tiers creating flies for warm, cold and saltwater targeting a wide range of species.
With October just around the corner False Albacore will be hitting our coast.NC is one of the best locations in the world to target these speedsters in the Fall.
The challenge is open to all tiers, Winners get a $25 gift card to J.Stockard for tying materials.
Tie your Best, Most Effective, or Creative False Albacore pattern and Be Sure to Submit your entry by tagging @TriangleFlyFishers on Instagram by OCTOBER 15th!
Winners along with the winning recipe will be featured in the November TFF Newsletter.

Monday, 10-6-25, is a Beer Tying night. We usually tie on the first and third Mondays of the month (with occasional exceptions)

Beer Tying is a social tying get together. Everyone ties whatever they want and the creations range from saltwater flies to size 22 midges. It is not tying lessons, but if you are having a hard time with a specific tying step, odds are you can watch a more experienced tyer tackle the process. The courteous thing to do is ask if you can watch another tyer. If you are on the fence about attending, please understand that this is a good group of people that create a welcoming, inclusive environment.
I hope to see you at The House or on Zoom. The House has WiFi and I plan to bring my laptop so people near and far can still connect. In person tying will start at 7:00 and Zoom tying will start between 7:00 and 7:30. If you haven’t been to The House, enter on the right side of the building and take your first right in to the red room. We will be in the back of the room. Bring your tying stuff, a tying light, an extension cord, and a good story. You don’t have to tie to attend. Let me know if you have any questions.
