FLY TYING



Fly (Tip) of the Month
Changing gears this month, here’s a nice video from Charie Craven’s Charlie’s Fly Box YouTube site. It’s video #1 in his Ask Charlie series and offers some basic insight into hen saddles and capes, useful info for new tyers (and maybe a few seasoned ones).

Fly Tying Class
SFF offers a Beginning Fly Tying class. Students will learn to tie five flies that will develop the basic skills that are the foundation for tyers. All tools are provided. Class is limited to six persons to maintain a low teacher-to-student ratio. The next class starts April 2, 2025. Contact Mike Hewitt at:
Fly Tying Night
Our next Fly Tying Night will be February 17th! 6:00-9:00 pm. Our drop-in, open fly tying night is held at Food Fix, 938 11th Street, Modesto. This is a non-structured, tie-what-you-want event just to have an opportunity to be among friends and share some flies, lies, ideas, and tips. The monthly tying night is held on the 3rd Monday of each month. New tyers are always welcome and are encouraged to attend.
