Fly Tying Session Thursday 7th March 2024 at the Cherry Tree Inn

We meet for a Fly-tying session (or a pint and chat) at the Cherry Tree Inn on Thursday 7th March as usual at 19:15 - 20:30.

The programme this week is:

Salmon Fly Tying Group

We are tying the classic spring fly – a Gold Bodied Willie Gunn on a 1” or 1.25” copper tube, or any other tube you choose - plastic, aluminium or brass.

Coincidentally Fish Pal have put up a new video for one method of tying a Gold Bodied Willie Gunn.  It uses Gold Flat Tinsel rather than Gold Mylar Tube.

Trout Fly Tying

I suggest a top up your stocks of Buzzers and Lures for the start of the reservoir season.

I hope to see as many of you as possible tying on Thursday, or simply coming along to catch up with news or arrange fishing over a pint.
