Meeting December 9th, 2014
The December SOFT meeting will feature John Matthews demonstrating his Steelhead Intruder pattern. He has simplified the tying of this colorful and effective pattern and after watching this demo anyone should be able to tie this one. Also we will feature Dave Roberts with a very informative program on chicken feathers and their uses. If you have ever been confused about what part of the bird certain feathers come from or which hackles are used on what flies, then you need to be there for this demo. Dave will take us through the entire Whiting product line and explain their applications. So don’t miss out on this very educational evening.
Bring something for the raffle.

After the demos, if anyone wants to tie one or both flies, Dave will provide all materials. All you need is your tools and thread: black 8/0 thread for the Skunk and red thread for the Chironomid (UTC 70 is best, but any 8/0 will work.)

Who are the Southern Oregon Fly Tyers?
We're just a friendly group of fly tyers who like to get together at least once a month to tie flies. We have no formal structure, no officers, except for a few dearly beloved deceased members, and no dues. Anyone can be a member. Just come to the meetings.
The building will open at 5:30 PM for setup and chit chat, but the meeting won't begin until 6:00. All tyers, whether experienced or inexperienced, all are welcome. Heck, you can come even if you aren't a tyer. You’re welcome to watch, ask questions, drink coffee, eat cookies, and just hang out.
We've been running a bucket raffle at the last few meeting with lots of goodies up for grabs. It's always handy to bring a few extra dollars. There's always something for sale, and tips and donations are very welcome.
We have a different demonstration tyer at each meeting, usually followed by a tie-along session. The pattern and materials required will be posted to this blog. Bring your tools, lights, extension cords, and materials to learn a new pattern to add to your arsenal. Lots of fun for all, along with coffee and some cookies.
Please invite a friend and forward blog address on to anyone else who might be interested. Come early so you don't miss anything, and stay late. We've invited several new tyers to attend our
