·I picked up a beginners kit from Michael and Young on Saturday and started a tying frenzy shortly thereafter. I'm heading up to Kamloops on the weekend so I thought I would outfit myself with the appropriate flies in the appropriate colours. It's been a lot of fun learning and I sure could use a hand from some seasoned professionals. I've been tying damselfly nymphs, dragonfly nymphs, mayflies, beadhead nymphs. I'm still a bit shaky with the whip finisher and can't seem to tie in a good set of legs on any of my flies. It's a tonne of fun though and I look forward to catching something on a fly that I've tied.
I noticed that Stone said he couldn't make it out to Coquitlam for a tying night. I don't think I would make that drive either as I live in Van. Are there others that would be interested in getting together somewhere for a tying night somewhere closer to the city???
p.s. A tip to all beginners. No double espressos before tying on size 12-16 hooks.
