Hi Everyone!
Another excellent start to the new fly tying season with the Central Alberta Fly Tyers. Tonight we tied Cormorants. They are a staple in the United Kingdom and it was time that we added several cormorants to our fly tying box. They can be fished on a washing line as droppers or stripped. They look like bait fish but they can also represent a chironomid. What a versatile pattern! The 4 cormorant patterns came from inspirations from both Davie McPhail and Lyndsay Simpson.
Next week, Dr. Bill Young is our instructor. I wonder what he has up his sleeve?
See you next week!
The Gang is Focussed!
