Comprehensive Chironomids with Phil Rowley


Red Deer was the place to be today if you wanted to learn about chironomids. Twenty five fly tyers joined Phil Rowley for a "hands on" chironomid workshop. The workshop included tying 13 chironomids, learning how to bleach peacock herl as well as learning how to fish chironomids in a variety of ways. Phil is the ultimate educator. He easily connects with his students and his instruction is always clear and concise. There is a lot of preparation time required to pull off such a comprehensive day. Thanks again Phil. It was nice to see Patsy come along. I know lots of those tying packages were organized by Patsy! They are a great team!

Yes,  there is a fly tying session on Monday. Byron Stearns is our guest tyer. See you then.

Take a look at all the patterns we tied today. Definitely an amazing day!
