Marabou Based River Nymphs with Rick Miyauchi


Hi Everyone!

Rick Miyauchi was our guest instructor last night. Rick did a great job teaching the 16 tyers about marabou! After looking at the differences in marabou, Rick showed us how to tie 4 excellent river patterns that were marabou based. Rick was kind to us as well, he upsized some of the nymphs to help ease our tying. It was a very educational tying session and we owe Rick a big thank you!

Next week, Dan Reaman is back. I believe we are tying stoneflies! Bring 0.015 lead wire or equivalent wire and tan UTC 70 thread (I will bring some extra) See you next week!
