Advanced Fly Tying Group (Zoom)

This month, we will hold our first meeting for Advanced Fly Tying on Jan. 20th at 7 PM on Zoom. Here’s how meetings of the Advanced Fly Tying Group will work. Each participant will be responsible for leading a tying session for at least one monthly meeting during the year. The leader for any given month will select the ‘fly of the month’ and show how it is tied during the meeting. Thus, if we have 12 tying members in the group, each member of the group would lead a session once per year.

Prior to the meeting which you are scheduled to lead, you would supply only the recipe (via email) for the fly to the other members. Then each member would be responsible for getting his/her necessary materials before the tying session — not the lead tier. The leader’s sole responsibility is to show the group how to tie the fly. To be part of the group, we encourage participants to consider tying skills are that of an intermediate – advanced fly tier. Those who are new to fly tying would be expected to continue participating in the monthly Beginner’s fly tying session, until they are proficient at the basic tying skills. Members of the Advanced Fly Tying Group are not excluded from their continued participation in the monthly Beginner’s sessions. Also, as part of the group, your participation requires you to lead one tying session each year (assuming that there are at least 12 members).

Our kick-off meeting will be led by Don Fine. Details for the Zoom call will be sent out via email. If you are interested in participating, sign up on our website — the registration link is in the sidebar.
