Beginner’s Fly Tying: White Miller (wet and dry) Fly

At our July Beginner fly tying session  we will be tying both a White Miller wet fly and dry fly. I chose these patterns for our Beginner class because July is the month when abundant hatches of White Millers occur on nearby waters (e.g. the Potomac River in Maryland/Virginia and Yellow Breeches in Pennsylvania). For this hatch, our tiers will learn two basic easy-to-tie patterns to “match the hatch.”

If you haven’t fished a full-blown White Miller (WM) hatch, you will have the opportunity in July. In the late afternoon  and early evening, the nymphs begin their ascent to the surface, at which time the wet fly pattern can be used to fish for smallmouth, blue gills, etc. 

We will meet in Room 207 at Trinity Church at 7:00 PM on July 19.
