17 keen fly tyers came out tonight to take in Dan Reaman's presentation. Dan showed us how to tie the iconic fly, RS2 as well as a Flashback Hare's Ear! Rim Chung's famous fly maybe one of the most important flies you can have in your fly box. Tie them small, size 18-24. Flashback Hare's Ears are easy to tie and they sure are fish catchers.
Thanks for driving in from Olds, Dan. Your concise instruction sure made for an excellent evening. The gang learned a simple way to split mayfly tails and well as how to make a dubbing rope. Two very useful tying techniques.
Next week, Dr. Bill Young is our guest tyer. See you then!
