FLY TYING CLINIC- Tying Intruder Variations with April Vokey
Thursday, December 8th 2011 - Full
Wednesday, December 14th
5:30 - 9:00
One Session - $50
Limited to 8 students
E-mail to sign up or be added to the class hopefuls list - info@avidangler.com
We’re hosting April Vokey from Fly Gal Ventures in British Columbia for a fun and easy-going class aimed at tying big, gnarly winter flies. April will guide us through some of the finer points of tying patterns that make steelhead go nuts no matter where they swim!
From April’s site,”One of the great things about fishing for B.C.'s wild steelhead are the animated and lively flies that seem to attract these feisty fish so regularly. Students are required to bring their own tools, however, all materials will be provided.
Gather around our comfortable tying table and observe, evaluate and conquer every tying step as April walks each student through the process.”
