The 2008 FLY OF THE YEAR went to John Baker for his flash fly. John's
flash Fly is made up of Polor Fiber wrapped on a streamer hook with
a light color of marabou or simular material for the tail.
On a recent fishing outting John supplied some of
the guys with several of his flies, with great results. Johns generosity
with his Flash Fly, is a great example of what makes our Fly Tying
Club a great club to belong to. There is always someone willing to
share, help, or pitch in and not expect anything in return. But a
"thank you" does go a long way.

John Baker with his Fly of the Year Award |
| The 2007 FLY OF THE YEAR award went to Jim Pfendler for his creation
of the "PFENDLER MINNOW". Jim originally created this fly
for the Allegheny River, but it turned out to be an all-around fly
for this region. Club members have had great sucsess with this fly
on our local Steelhead streams. One variation to the "Pfendler
Minnow" is too add an orange bead to the head of the fly. At
first the fly known as the Allegheny River Shiner, but was soon renamed
the "Pfendler Minnow". |

Congradulations to Bill Harter on the 2006 FLY OF THE YEAR! This
is the first year of this award and it goes the club member who comes
up a fly that consistantly catches fish. Bill came up a fly he calls
the "HELL FLY" while on a trip to Roscoe, NY. He said it
looked like "HELL" but caught fish. |
