Hi Bassbuggers,
Impromptu tieing event this Saturday 3/10/12 from 1pm to 4pm(?) at John Loebach's garage in Lombard,.IL
Former Illinoisan, now Georgian, Crawdad Craig will sit in with us and show us some of his new patterns.
Craig designs (builds) flies for Rainey's and has some very innovative patterns.

So call your fly tieing buddies, because this is very short notice and we don't get Craig here to tie with us very often.

John thanks for having this demo, its always fun haging in that "garage" of yours.

If anyone has not seen Craigs new fly move through the water they should check it out when its available. It achieves what alot of people have tried in the past, it has a very simular action as say a floating jointed Rapala or even a tiny crank bait.
