February and March Fly Tying
Deerfield River Fly Box
An informational and tying series.
I will be sitting down, online, with shop guides over the next three weeks to talk about some of our favorite fly patterns for the Deerfield River and how to tie and fish them. The sessions will meet Wednesdays, February 10, 17 and 24, at 7 pm. Email [email protected] to register and get the link. The sessions are free.
Jay Aylward and I will discuss streamers on February 10, Eric Halloran and I will talk wets and nymphs on February 17 and then it’s Jay and I again on February 24 to help you get your dry fly box in order. We will discuss some of our go-to patterns, how we tie them, and how and when we fish them. We will demonstrate a handful of ties and field questions throughout. Tying experience is only necessary if you want to tie your own; there should be helpful information for non-tyers as well.
