We are a group of Fly Tyers who want to improve our tying skills. We come from as far north as Roseburg, Oregon and as far south as Yreka, California to converge on Gold Hill, Oregon. We are all different skill levels but we agree on the joy of Fly Tying.

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.
