In selecting the fly pattern for our November session, I chose Hogan’s Winter Leech. This pattern will further enhance the tying skills of our Beginner’s class as well as to provide a great fly for fishing into the winter months. As I have noted in previous issues of our Streamlines Newsletter, we fly fishers need to have diverse fly patterns that we can use throughout the four seasons of the year. A successful fly fisher will choose an artificial with reference to the natural food sources available to the fish.
We look forward to having you join us at the Beginner Fly Tying class on Tuesday, November 19th (at 7 p.m.)* at Trinity United Methodist Church, West Patrick St., Frederick. As always, we welcome fly fishers who have never tied an artificial fly to join our Beginner Fly Tying classes. Materials for the fly pattern of the month are provided to all who attend. Vises and tying equipment are also provided for those who are newcomers to tying an artificial fly.
*If you are planning on attending the session, please remember to reply to the PVFF fly tying group email which will be sent to you several days prior to the class (dfine1443@gmail.com). It is important for Martyn and I to know that you plan to attend, so that we can have sufficient materials available. Also, please let us know if you would like to borrow a vise and tools for the session.
