Our February gathering is happening this month on the 17th at Falling Sky brewing. This month we have a special raffle that one of our Community Night veterans is generously donating. Adison of Soggy Waders Guide Service is donating one of his famous Stillwater trips in the valley. He donated one last year and it was a huge hit. If you are lucky enough to win, Adison will take you on his fully decked out 18ft boat chasing large smallmouth bass, spotted bass, trout, or a mix of them.
I have had the opportunity to be on his boat several times for Spotted bass and Smallmouth and Adison has a very unique program. The Spotted Bass push 8 pounds and will have a 6 wt doubled over like it is glass. The Smallmouth program he offers targets smaller fish in comparison to the massive Spotted Bass, but still gives you shots at chunky 14-18in Smallies all day. Lunch will be provided, but if you win, don’t forget to tip your guide for the day on the water!
If you don’t end up winning the raffle and are interested in getting on the water with Adison, contact the shop to get in his books. Late winter and early spring is the best time for his Stillwater offerings in the valley.
If you haven’t been to one, it is a monthly gathering that we do over at Falling Sky. It is a great excuse to get together and talk about fly fishing, tie flies, meet new people in the community, usher in newbies, etc. See the bottom of this post for the full schedule for 2026.
Tiers are encouraged to bring their vise and materials and tie flies if they choose. We will still continue with the monthly fly swap for tiers who participate. If you aren’t planning on tying, but want to bring a hand tied fly, you are welcome to bring one from home. We have run dry on our prize materials from our friends at Fulling Mill for this month, but are expecting more for our March gathering.
Where: Falling Sky Brewing [1334 Oak Alley Eugene, OR 9740]
When: Tuesday February 17th at 6:30
What: Raffle for a Stillwater Trip with Adison Rook, Fly tying, new friends, prizes, great food, great beer, fly swap, and connecting with the community.
Falling Sky has great beer and some very talented chefs working hard in the back. Their burgers and sandwiches are fantastic, if you choose either of those you have to try the truffle fries. They also have a fantastic bacon loaded truffle Mac and Cheese. Steph en, the owner, has been generous enough to host us monthly for a year and a half. He is a fly angler himself and always makes his rounds. Be sure to extend your gratitude to the man who has made this happen every month for well over a year.
We can always expect our regulars to show up monthly. We also encourage new people to swing by. We have had a massive influx of new faces and new anglers, so it is a great time to stop by if you’ve been hesitant. Whether you’re a veteran to community night or brand new, we are looking forward to seeing you Tuesday!
Help spread the word!
