Happy 2009 Everybody!
Doug Cook was our guest tyer tonight. Eighteen keen fly tyers worked on tying a Boatman pattern and the always reliable Adams. I am always impressed by the quality of the patterns that we are taught by our guest tyers, Doug's boatman recipe included a cool way to add eyes to the pattern. The Adams is a very reliable pattern that is a must in all our fly boxes. I love seeing our club members learning to tye patterns using size 16 and smaller hooks. I appreciate Doug's attention to detail that makes a big difference in the quality of the end product. Doug did a great job getting around to the gang and giving excellent feedback on their tying. Thanks again Doug!
See everybody on Saturday at the Phil Rowley Workshop!
