Tips Sail

It's hard not to feel like I am hyping a club dancer here but Phil Croff of Croff Craft Custom Driftboats & Guide Service is swinging down from Michigan for a couple of presentations next week that those in the Columbia and Charleston areas should scribble down on their schedules to attend.

Phily has a deep game and his presentation will cover mousing techniques, flies, wooden drift boats, brook trout, steelhead, and whatever else comes up.


Where will Phil be?

SALUDA RIVER TROUT UNLIMITED
Phil will be presenting to the Saluda River Trout Unlimited on Tuesday, January 10th, 2017.  The meeting begins at 6:00 p.m. and takes place at McWaters located at 1104 Shop Road in Columbia, South Carolina.  Bring $7 if you want a couple pieces of pizza and a few more dollars for the raffles.

LOWCOUNTRY FLY SHOP - MOUSING FOR TROUT SEMINAR
Come out to the Lowcountry Fly Shop on Thursday, January 12th, 2017 for Phil's presentation, drinks, and finger foods.  Or BYOB.  The meeting will begin at 6:30 p.m. and the shop is located at 626 Coleman Blvd. in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina.

I know that I just referenced these past T.F.M. posts the other day but if you need a reminder of what Phil Croff does, click through on these...

A "NO SERVICE" KIND OF DAY

Finally, if you haven't seen it, or just need to see it again, Matt Dunn of fishbeer.com pieced together five minutes of film on Phil, the mouse game, and what it takes to build a custom wooden drift boat in Northern Michigan.



So, clear the schedule and come out for one (or both) of these presentations.  Each should be a stellar time though it's unlikely you'll go home with glitter on your face...
