 Tie Flies to Support the Club
what: The July Installation Dinner is less than two weeks off. One of the most popular events at the dinner is the silent auction, featuring flies tied by PFF members. You can help the club and your fellow non-tying PFF colleagues by tying up a dozen (or two) of your favorite pattern for the auction.

Put any fly donations in a plastic bag (or other container) and give them to Dave Kruss. He will transfer them to our custom PFF fly boxes for the auction. See Dave to make arrangements for your delivery.
why: The silent auction is one of our major fundraising events and we typically have 20 to 30 boxes of flies on the auction block. But even more fun for a fly tier is to see how much members are willing to pay for their creations.
