Fly tying has remained a focus for the club, with regular fly tying sessions open to all members. During these sessions, we swap patterns, help novice tiers, learn new techniques, and just enjoy the fellowship of other members in a relaxed setting. Plans for what will be the fly pattern of focus at each fly tying session are announced through a club email message distributed to all members. Materials enough to make 2-3 flies are included in the session. All we ask is you join the club (see Membership). Bring your tools and vise. If you are new to tying, the club has some vises and tools you can use to get you started.
