Fly Tying Mondays Start December 8th

 Good Morning Everyone!

I hope to get Fly Tying Mondays started on December 8th at Reliance Oilfied Services Learning Centre starting at 6:30 pm. Thanks to Adam Karras, we have an excellent facility and we are grateful for the the use of the learning centre. 

We are looking for presenters as well! You do not need to be an expert just willing to share a couple of your favourite fly patterns! The group will pay for the materials that are used!

Fly Tying Mondays is for everyone! Whether you are a beginner or an expert, we welcome everyone!
