Hi Everyone!
What a fantastic turn out we had last night for our second last tying session of the year! We missed you last night Ralf and look forward to your return! Last night we focussed on tying some damsel patterns. We tied Randall Kaufmann's Marabou Damsel, as well Phil Rowley's suggestive Grizzly Damsel and we tied a basic balanced damsel.
Note: One of our younger fly tyers won a draw for a fly rod at the Sportsman raffle. Unfortunately the winner's name was almost not readable. If you put in for a draw, get ahold of Doug Wood (403-347-7968) to claim your prize!
Next week is our final tying session of the year. We will be tying boatmen/ backswimmers. It should be an excellent session! See you there! Bring some UTC Olive and Red tying thread!
