Hi Everyone!
Well tonight, it was all about Lee Wulff's classic flies. Just before we tied flies tonight, we had a slide show of fly fishing in Belize. The slide show came from the 7 adventurous Central Albertans who went bone and permit fly fishing.
The Wulff series of flies float through choppy and at times rough water without sinking. Lee Wulff successfully used hair wing flies using white tail deer and calf tail or calf body hair! Lee Wulff usually had a single wing although many fly tyers prefer to divide the wings.
Through the years many different hybrids of the Wulff have developed. The Royal Wulff, White Wulff and Grey Wulff are classics. Today you can also find the Grizzly Wulff and the Adams Wulff!
The challenge with the Wulff series is getting the proportions right and then consistently tying them!
Remember that this Thursday is the IF4 Film Festival at Carnival Theatre You can get your tickets at TC Outfitters for $15 or click on the picture below to buy them on line! We need 125 patrons to break even so bring your spouse and fly fishing buddies. It will be a very enjoyable evening.
Next week is our final fly tying session of the year. Ralf Kuntzemann will close out the tying season for us! Ralf says just bring your regular tying kit, nothing special is required!
