Happy New Year Everybody!
We kicked off the 2010 fly tying season in great style. Twenty-eight tyers filled the Annie L Gaetz library. The evening was an opportunity to honor Russell Blessing, the inventor of the woolly bugger. Tonight we tied 3 variations of the woolly bugger. All three patterns will be useful to the Central Alberta fly fisher.
Next week Jock MacKenzie is our guest tyer. Jock is an avid fly fisher who always shares some great patterns. You'll enjoy Jock's sense of humor.
We still have 5 spots left for the Rowley Workshop on January 30th. The Trip to the Parkland Region of Manitoba is filling up. Let me know if you want to be a participant.
