Tie
Together Session
Hello to one and all!
As discussed at last
meeting we are going to have a “sit down and tie together session” on Tuesday
May 9th starting at 6 pm, 15 minutes of announcements and then we
will get right to it. If there is time
we will move on to a third fly, the Yong Special. There will be no Tech Session for this
meeting.
We will be doing two
flies during this session and it will include the McBear’s STIS March Brown and
Bob Grace’s (Dunsmuir Fly Shop) Flash Wing Soft Hackle Pheasant Tail. The materials list for the March Brown is in
last month’s announcement. Mr. Ed
Morphis will give a brief review of the key points in tying the March Brown and
Dave McCants will lead the tying session.
Then we will move on to
the Flash Wing Soft Hackle Pheasant Tail as lead by Dave again. The key features that are different from a
standard pheasant tail are the “V” wing and the soft hackle feather in front of
the “v” wing. Materials and photos are
as follows:
Hook, size 14 soft
hackle (I use Gaelic Supreme size 14 and 16 Sly Nemes up eye soft hackle hook,
but any size 14 will do for this class),
Thread – Black 8/0 10/0
12/0 Veevus or Uni thread,
Rib – small or fine
copper wire (counter wound),
Tail – 3-4 pheasant
center tail fibers,
Abdomen – 4 Pheasant
center tail fibers,
V Wing – Small Pearl
Mylar,
Thorax – Peacock herl
(small),
Hackle – Hen furnace
hackle, 2 turns.
Please bring materials
for both flies, I will have Yong Special threads available for everyone, if we
get to that fly. I can also supply 4
inch pleasant tail centers available. If
anyone needs a vice, I can bring 4 vices that attach to a table for use in the
session, but you need to contact me at Davetyer@comcast.net and let me know you need one so I bring them to
the class session.
I look forward to seeing
everyone there!
Kindest regards, Dave
