Finally after a long COVID prolonged hiatus we have Fly Tying Mondays back up and running! Thanks to Adam Karras, we have a new location. Reliance Oilfield Learning Centre is going to be a great new location! There were 14 of us tonight. It was so good to shake hands with friends and to just hang out tying flies.
Tonight we looked at shrimp flies. We tied three shrimp like flies and looked at a 4th. All the details of the flies we tied are below.
Next week, it is all about tying pheasant tails. We will look at tying flashbacks, basic pheasant tails and Frenchies.
Dust off your tying materials everyone. We are looking forward to seeing you soon!
Special Note: Fly Tying Saturday on February 11th with Phil Rowley-details to follow!
