The Sanibel FlyFishers will hold its next meeting of the season on Feb. 12 from 5:30 to 8 p.m. at The Community House, at 2173 Periwinkle Way, Sanibel.
The guest speaker will be Charlie Craven, owner of Charlie’s Fly Box in Colorado. Best know as an innovative and a masterful fly designer and tier, he is also an author and a teacher.
Craven first began tying flies when he was 8 years old. His book, “Basic Fly Tying,” is an introduction to the tools, materials and techniques for tying modern flies. Craven’s YouTube tutorials offer demonstrations of tying technique. He has years of experience as a guide and loves to fish the salt, as well as his native western streams.
Pizza and soft drinks will be available.
In addition, the club will hold a Fly Tying Night on Feb. 11 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Sanibel Fly Outfitters, at 2240 Periwinkle Way, Sanibel. It will be a general session for tying and talking, with pizza available. Those with vises, tools and materials are asked to bring them.
Both events are open to the public.
The club meets on the second Thursday of each month.
