March Monthly Meeting a Fly Tying Clinic

March 18th, 7pm at our normal meeting location on the Northeast corner of Mineral and Broadway in the South Metro Denver Realtors Association building (7899 S Lincoln Ct, Littleton, CO 80122).Are you a fly tier or interested in starting? Well, this is the time of year for you. There are a number of places and events where you can watch local legends perform their magic. This month’s membership meeting is just one such place. It’s a great opportunity to sit with some of your favorite tiers and not only learn their flies and recipes but the little tricks you can only get from watching them.The list of talented fly tyers this year includes, but is not limited to Pat Dorsey, Bob Dye, Phil Iwane, Steve Johnson, Jim Schmidt, Bud McCallister, Greg Garcia, Doug Garvey, John Vevurka, Jerry Shin, John Aaron, Bob Getz and event organizer Richard Pilatzke.As a personal testament, every year I learn new flies to try out on my favorite water from some fantastic fly tiers. But what I really take away each year are new techniques for tying these files. Things like how to start your thread on a curved shank hook so it won't keep slipping off or tying in wings and splitting tails. The point is that this meeting is more than about where and what to fish. It's a chance to watch some masters and learn from legends.Also, thanks to Richard Pilatzke and his team to putting this all together. See you all there!
