Gearing Up for Another Tying Season


Hi Everybody!

We are just a few days away from getting the 2018-2019 Fly Tying Season rolling! This Monday November 26th, at 7 pm; we have our first session at West River Fly Shop (aka TC Outfitters)! Troy has made some recent changes in the layout at the shop which will greatly help the space we use for fly tying sessions! The cost is $3, which covers the costs of materials for the evening! 

We always welcome new members!

What to Bring to get started?

• a fly tying vice
• a bobbin
• a whip finishing tool
• a sharp pair of scissors 
• a hair stacker
• a dubbing spinner
• hackle pliers
• velcro brush

You will also need some basic thread colours. To start have:

black 8/0 or 70 denier
red 8/0 or 70 denier
olive 8/0 or 70 denier
orange 8/0 or 70 denier

You will need thicker thread at times and for sure have some:

black 6/0 or 140 denier

The first tying session be sure to have red 8/0 and olive 8/0 thread!
