Fly Tying Thursday 30th Nov 2023

My usual reminder that we meet for Fly Tying this Thursday 30th Nov at The Cherry Tree Inn at 19:30 – 21:30.

A few other things:

Grayling Fishing

Following my email – I received some worrying reports about the Lower Itchen Fishery and so must find time to go there and try it before organising a group visit.  So watch for more news.

National Fly-Tying Competition

Please do plan to submit an entry.  You are all capable of tying flies that could gain a prize!

If anyone has a genetic ‘Light Sandy Dun’ Cock Hackle – please consider donating a few feathers to me…

See Fly Dresser Summer 2023 for the details.

Christmas Dinner

Charles L has organised our Christmas Dinner at the Cherry Tree Inn on Thu 14 Dec at 19:00.

If you have not booked your place yet – please contact Charles urgently, there are just a few spaces left – it would be good to have a full table.

Beginners Fly Tying Course

Because one applicant is absent on 30th – I have put back the start to Thu 7th Dec.  Let me know if you would like to join in.

We will be starting with ‘Basic Blacks’ – see this attached for materials.

Fly Tying Feathers Origins

I hope to bring along a feathered friend to demonstrate where some fly tying feathers come from.
