Eighteen fly tyers came out to take in Larry Prowse's presentation that included three excellent fly patterns. The first pattern was developed by Mike Lawson. It is called the Henry's Fork Foam Golden Stone. This pattern included using EP fibres for the wing and a unique way to finish the front of the fly. We then tied Davie McPhail's Black Cricket. It is a very neat looking pattern that will have a welcome spot in my fly box. We had time to also tie Mike's Honey Ant. Another excellent pattern.
Remember that the IF4 Film Festival is this Thursday at Carnival Theatre. Josh Nugent will be there to greet you at 6:30 p.m. with the films starting at 7 p.m. You can get your tickets on line right here. You save a few bucks by getting your ticket on line!
