Some people knit. Some people golf. Some people spend three hours tying tiny flies while drinking a hazy. We support all hobbies equally. 🎣🍺

Join Penn’s Woods West Trout Unlimited for a free fly tying night at the taproom this Thursday. Bring your own supplies or just post up with a beer and learn from the pros.

No experience required — just decent hand-eye coordination and the ability to pretend you know what “nymph pattern” means.

REMINDER: Chapter Meeting Tonight!
Join meeting on March 9th at 7PM for an intro to saltwater fly fishing.
