Looking for something fun to do on a cold winter evening? Look no further. Join Roaring Fork Conservancy, Roaring Fork Valley Fly Fishing Club and Roaring Fork Fishing Guide Alliance for the 5^th annual Iron Fly Competition on Saturday, February 1 at The Tipsy Trout in Basalt.

Iron Fly is a fly tying competition combined with a little, friendly competition. Competitors are provided with secret and “funky” materials that must be used in each fly. The youth division for ages 16 and under, starts at 4:00pm.  Adult Competition starts at 6:30pm.

COMPETITORS are asked to bring a fly tying vise and fly tying tools (there will be some on hand to borrow if you don’t have any), and be willing to share some supplies with fellow competitors. Fly tying materials will be provided.

Before registering as a competitor check out the IRON FLY RULES:

1. Have fun!
2. Bribing judges is okay.
3. Cheating is okay.
4. Rules? Haha, there really are no rules. But, be prepared for new rules to be created at any point of the competition.  

Can’t handle the rules?  Consider not competing and be a spectator. This is a fun event not to be taken too seriously.

Drink and menu specials will be available at The Tipsy Trout!

Please register in advance (especially competitors!) at www.roaringfork.org/events

Snow is a way of life here in Colorado. It is also our water supply. Come discover the relationship between snow and water during this “field trip for adults” with Roaring Fork Conservancy, Natural Resources Conservation Service, and The Marble Hub!

Meet at The Marble Hub for light refreshments and an introduction to snow science and its critical importance in water supply prediction in the west. Then we’ll head out into the snow on McClure Pass for some hands-on exploration, including a visit to an official SNOTEL site, a snow course survey with the pros, and a fun comparison of water content between different layers of the snow-pack.

Please keep the following in mind:

• Personal snowshoes are required!
• Please be prepared to carpool to/from McClure Pass.
• Appropriate for ages 12 years and older. Minors must be accompanied by an adult.
• Please dress appropriately with boots, layers, and gloves appropriate for the snow.

Space is limited and registration is required.
