For our meeting on November 2, two gentlemen from the 4th Corner Fly Fishers joined us to teach basic fly tying. It was an information packed hour and a half! By the end of the evening many of the girls had mastered the basics as you will see from the pictures below. This is truly an art form. These gentlemen will first sketch what they wish to create as a fly. These are intricate drawings folks! Something you really have to see to believe. One fly took 14 hours to create. It's for sale too....in a shadow box...$400.00. After seeing the work that went into it, $400.00 seems a bargain for such a piece of art. It was a fun night and a lot was learned. We have to remember that less is more, and to try not to "tie on the whole bird". And quality is better than quantity. OH and we had 100% attendance! Way to go girls! A HUGE thank you to the 4th Corner Fly Fishers. Adventure is out there!
The above three flies were tied by OUR girls last night. Pretty impressive, isn't it?
