Fly Tying Night (February 18th, 2010)

We had a great time tying beadhead flies at Dale's shop. New to the group was Bob Buvel. Bob had a great looking skwala pattern he was planning on fishing over in Montana this spring.

Fly Tying Night (1/21/2010)

Thanks to everyone for coming out to fly tying last night! We had quite a crowd and I hope everyone learned something. I really liked seeing the different materials used for posts - Cliff's egg yarn looked great and was easy to work with and Marc's fluorescent scarlet antron just absolutely glowed - both materials ought to be visible for miles on the stream and would make great substitutions for the traditional white posts.

Thanks to Jerry for showing us Charlie Craven's method for tying parachutes. For those who haven't visited Charlie's Flybox there's a link below. I've also included links for tying instructions for 'The Pickle' that Jerry mentioned and a couple of interviews with Charlie from Ask About Flyfishing. Witt brought in a printout of a fly using Wally Wings and I've put a link showing how they are made and tied in on a fly. I haven't tried the technique but they look neat and probably worth a session at the bench to learn how.

Beadheads Nymphs. Our next session will be February 18th and I was thinking of some sort of beadhead nymph as the pattern. The Shop Vac  has been suggested (Leroy Hyatt featured it in this week's Tribune) and there's always the ever popular PT, Prince Nymph or Zug Bug.
