FLY TYING JAM Jim Holmes Third Tuesday of the Month 6:30PM at the Activity Center |
|
Jim Holmes will be tying the monthly fly pattern and others that will work for that time of year and for the upcoming GBF fishout locations. Tuesday, February 19, 2008
Our Fly Tying Jam will be held on Tuesday, February 19 at the Folsom
Lake Activity Center in Granite Bay starting at 6:30 or so...just
remember that the gates close about 7:00PM so after that you are on
your own!
I was checking my fly boxes and see that I am low on a fly that I
often use, the muddler. This is a connection with the flies we did
last month with spun deer hair as the muddler has a spun deer hair
head. Many of you have purchased the deer hair packers and have
materials for spinning, so let's use them!! All you need is deer
hair, a 3x long hook and some tinsel and marabou...if you don't have
all of these things, we can share!
This event is FREE and for all fly tiers of all
levels but for this particular group of flies it is best to have a
little experience. Pete Peterson will be there tying some bass flies
and others come and just have fun..If you are new to fly tying this
is a great opportunity to see fly tying in action.
Any questions, give me a shout!

As always, the Fly
Tying Jam is a FREE monthly event. All you need to do is bring a
vise, tools and your own materials, plus lots of enthusiasm! Heck, you can
even come and just watch if you want. Free use of the Club’s fly tying vises and tools are also available. If you think you want to learn to tie flies, but don’t want to spend a lot of money to find out, contact Larry Lee and arrange with him to check out a vise and the tools you will need. Club members may keep them for thirty days at a time. Larry can be reached at Larrylee@l3rods.com or call him at (916) 962-0616. For any other questions about the Fly Tying Jam, you can contact Jim Holmes at (916) 967-6709 or jwholmesjr@aol.com |
