Fly Tyers Roundtable

Wednesday evening, April 9th I along with 10 or so other fly tyers will be tying flies at a fly tyers roundtable being hosted by The Connecticut Fly Fisherman's Association. This event is free and open to the public. The meeting place is Veterans Memorial Clubhouse, 100 Sunset Ridge, East Hartford, CT.

This will be a great opportunity to see flies tied for both salt and fresh water. I will be tying flies for small streams, dries, wets, and streamers.

The CFFA will also have a line of hats, and other fashion available. Free coffee, and a snack or two. So if you can please come out to this event. I would like to meet some small stream aficionados.

These are some of the flies I'll be tying.

  5. Beautiful flies as always. I wish I was in the area for the show. I'm sure you will turn more than few heads with those ties. I especially like the "Royal Coachman-desk" wets at the end.

      It would be wonderful to meet you as well. Those Royal types are called "Fractured Flies".
