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!

Fly Tying on Monday February 5th and 12 and ....some news!

Hi Everyone!


There have been some schedule changes for the next two weeks at fly tying! Rick Miyauchi is our presenter tomorrow and the following Monday, February 12th; Dan Reaman will be back tying stoneflies.

Just so everyone knows, Karen took a nasty spill and broke her right leg while skiing. She broke both her fibula and tibia on her right leg. It was a bad spiral fracture that required major surgery. She has a rod and screws in her leg. She is now home and immobile for a long period of time! She is hanging in there!


See you tomorrow night!
