FLIG-onometry

[#0000FF]There are a lot of new fligaholics around here these days. Dang me. I have written several how-to PDFs on making and fishing fligs. Recently I have been getting more interest in folks who want to learn how to make their own fligs...and other bait floats like the Santee rigs.

[#0000FF]In E-chatting with Pisco a few days ago, I had the thought that there might be some interest in having a couple of group get-togethers for a show and tell on working with foam. In years past we had quite a few "jig parties"...where a dozen or so of us would get together to pour and paint jigs...or tie flies...or build rods...or whatever. They were always fun and got a lot of handy tinkerers started on crafting their own stuff.[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]If there is any interest, I would be happy to show up with foam, tools and paint to download as much as I think I know. Depending on how many people wanna play, we can either do one gathering in the Salt Lake area...or one in each the north and south. What we will need is a meeting room for a dozen or so people. In the past we have used garages, big kitchens, office conference rooms, warehouse space, etc. And if we can add in a preliminary pot luck meal...or at least heavy snacks...that makes it even nicer. And during the coming foul weather months it helps pass the time.

[#0000FF]In the meantime, here is my latest written output...with some background info on the use of bait floats and fligs...and some of the different options...commercial and custom (self made).
