Fellow Members of the FNN Board,
This Saturday, there's a fly fishing event in Long Beach. Whether you already fly fish or are curious, this is an exceptional opportunity to gain some wisdom. In fact, some of the raffle items include guide trips and instructional sessions - good for any skill level. The event also supports some great causes. Here's the copy from the Southwest Council IFFF's Facebook Event. Check it out and thank you FNN moderators!

We invite all to gather for a fun filled day of events and activities at the Long Beach Casting Club on Saturday, January 31, 9am – 4pm
The Fly Tying Hall will be showcasing Internationally and locally acclaimed fly tiers who are coming together under one roof to support this event. This is a priceless opportunity to watch and learn from our fly tying greats as they share and demonstrate fly tying techniques and patterns for fresh and saltwater.

Participants will be analyzed by instructors and receive tips on improving their single-hand or Spey casting.
The Garage Sale is sure to please: find semi-new and gently-used items at a great price. Anything not sold will be donated to Project Healing Water or Casting For Recovery. Bring an item for the garage sale that is valued at 40 dollars or more and receive free admission.
