As some of you know, a buddy and I in the city, decided to start up a Chicago bar flies type event called Chi-Tie. Basic premise is pretty easy- the idea is to meet at a bar once a month, drink beer, talk fish, and tie flies. Second Monday of each month at a bar in Chicago. Everyone is welcome from serious tiers to newbies to spectators or anyone interesting in fly fishing at all. Check out chi-tie.blogspot.com for more info or feel free to contact me with questions. February 10, 6:30 pm. at Galway Bay 500 W. Diversey, Chicago Winter sucks. Come try to beat cabin fever with us. This month is an open tie so bring whatever you need to tie whatever you want. Hope to see you there!  |

March 10It's almost March! And time for our next meet up. Once again we'll meet at Galway Bay (500 W Diversey) on Monday March 10 at 6:30pm. This month will be another open tie. So bring your vise, some materials, and join us for a beer or two and keep filling those boxes for the soon to come spring. Whether you've never tied, or have tied for years, we welcome everyone to come hang out with us and talk about fly fishing and tying. We hope to see you there!

Here we go- April Chi- Tie. chi-tie.blogspot.com/2014/04/april-meet-up.htmlHere we are again getting ready for another Chi- Tie event. The weather has finally turned and spring is here. It's time to finish filling those boxes and get on the water. Rivers are free (with lower than expected flows) and lakes and ponds are opening up. Join us Monday April 14th at 6:30pm at Galway Bay for our next get together. Aside from the usual beer, tying, and fishy conversation we'll also have Will Winans of Big River Fly doing a demo for us. Besides being a Chi Fly mainstay Will is also a local guy guiding on the Kankakee River just an hour from downtown Chicago. Will has years of experience with the K3 having grown up on the river and will be showing us how to tie one of his go to smallie patterns. A little bit of rabbit, a little bit of deer hair, and a whole lot of action. Hope to see you there!  |

May 12! May 12th- 6:30pm! Make sure you join us at Galway Bay (500 W Diversey) for our next meet up. Spring is finally coming into full swing and the fishing is starting to pick up. Come hang out for an open tie and fill some spaces in your fly box. Just bring a vise and a handful of materials to tie whatever you want. As always we'll have plenty of fur and feathers flying along with some good drinks and fishy conversation. Everyone is welcome whether you've been tying for years or bought your first vise yesterday or are just interested in getting into it. If you don't tie, as always feel free to come hang out and have a drink and chat with us. And if the weather is nice enough, a few of us might even meet at a nearby harbor to fish a bit before hand. Hope to see you there!  |
