Tying Time!

The pouring rain today reminds us that it’s “a good time to tie!”  We have three great leads for you.


First, fly tying vets might enjoy this insider intel from our buddy Landon, who used to compete in local flyfishing competitions that upped his personal game. And he taught me how to Euro. He said that the France fly was a winter secret weapon. Learn this easy tie via Tim Flagler’s video at Tightlinesflyfishing.com

Second, tying rookies or wannabe’s might like to zoom into local favorite  Steve Hudson’s Saturday morning instructional sessions. Learn more at flykits.net and click on “the tying bench.”

Third, new tyers can learn from the Orvis master himself, Tom Rosenbauer. Sign up for the free Orvis Virtual Fly Tying 101 series of lessons at howtoflyfish.Orvis.com. The first class is on 2/10.

You might just enjoy this wintertime hobby as much as we do. Call, come by, or shop online if we can help you with tying supplies.
