MCFF Fly Tying Night - 17 April 2023

 We had a great turnout at tonight's MCFF Fly Tying Night! Carl Sanders led the group in tying one of club president Capt. Dick Withey's favorite crab patterns! This fly was a challenge even for our seasoned tyers, but, I'm proud to say, we had several beginners that toughed it out and tied this crab as their first fly!! We have a Tying Night the third Monday of every month and we're always happy to help folks learn a new pattern or introduce beginners to the passion of fly tying! I'll be glad to save a seat for you!

 

MCFF Fly Tying Night "Reversed Spider Fly" - 20 February 2023

Tonight's Mid-Coast Fly Fisher's Tying Meeting had Carl Sanders lead the group in a popular shrimp imitation used in the Pacific Northwest, the Reversed Spider Fly. Using mallard feathers, flash of your choice and chenille, this simple fly will challenge you with the reverse-palmered hackle and seemingly oversized proportions. The movement of this fly should drive any fish species wild!

MCFF Tying Meeting - January 2020

Tonight's MCFF Tying Meeting featured a Zonker Minnow demonstrated by Phil Ewaniciki. Phil explained the basic techniques required to tie this simple fly, then went on to describe a few of the many variations possible with different tail materials and different cuts of the rabbit strips. It was a fun tie tonight and I'll be adding a few more of these (and some variants) to my flyboxes!
