Now here’s an organization worth our support. This group helps breast cancer patients reconnect with life. What better way to connect…than through flyfishing. In the coming months I will be assisting the organization in holding a tye-athon. It will start out small and grow from there. To hosting a retreat at some point in the next year or so I hope. I encourage you to join a local chapter. At some point in January I will try to get you to donate some flies as well. So you are off the hook for now! (Sort Of…..)

Real and Heal

If you have flies to donate….. email me at aroostookbasser@yahoo.com (subject: R/H)

THE CONTEST FLY....Neon Perch Special

The Tye:
Hook: Size #8 3x Carlisle
Thread: Orange Kevlar
Eyes: Bead Chain ( small silver)
Body: Yellow Chenille (Lg size)
Rib: Heavy Gold Wire
Tail: White Marabou

Pretty basic tye. Place eyes on shank with kevlar thread and tye in tail. Add Chenille and wire. Wrap the chenille up to the eyes and tye off. Counter wind the wire to the eyes and tye down. Form the head with the thread and cement windings.

Now for the sake of imagination I will allow all tyers to alter the coloration of the tye. But the Neon must stay neon and all elements of the tye must remain. Feel free to play with colors but keep it “Neon”!!! Add some sparkle or flash ……..change the tail. But the basic elements must remain.

Are you an avid tyer? Looking to make a difference in this world? I will be cohosting a “TYE-THON” to benefit R/H here in Houlton this fall. Go online and check them out!!!!!

This program directly benefits breast cancer patients….. and reconnects them to life!!!!!!

An awesome program I for one have to be involved in…………..
