Phil Rowley's Chromie

This months Pub & Dub will be Thursday, February 1 at 6:00 PM in the loft area at the rear of the taproom at the Gilded Goat Brewery and Taproom, 3500 S. College Ave in Fort Collins.  Come and join us for an evening of socialization, swapping fish stories from your summer and maybe even learning a new pattern. 

“Pub and Dub” is a free event hosted by the Rocky Mountain Flycasters TU Chapter for members and friends to meet, have a beverage and tie flies. Marty Staab will designate a “Fly of the Month”, and the Chapter provides all tying materials (vises and tools as needed) along with video tying instructions on the big screen TV. Tyers of all abilities are welcome, and first time tyers will find themselves surrounded by others happy to assist. 

Please RSVP to Marty (Pub-n-Dub@rmftu.org) before each session, and let him know if you need a loaner vise or tools.

This Months Pattern: Phil Rowley's Chromie

"Based on Phil Rowley's Chromie, this is a good choice for those large trout that cruise shallow water after ice-off. One of the best tactics is to fish this fly under an indicator. Chironomids are often fished by suspending the nymph just above the lake bottom, but the reflective design imitates the shiny emerging pupa, so explore the entire water column."
