Well we got 2024 off to a great start. Reliant Oilfield Services Learning Centre was full to capacity with fly tyers. Tonight, we tied parachute flies. I use them a lot, especially on rivers. We concentrated on tying a Purple Haze, Parachute Adams and a Parachute PMD. Take a look! Next week, Steve Luethi is back and we are going to tie some flies from Argentina and Cree Lake in Northern Saskatchewan.
