Upcoming Event

Fly Tying

07-Dec-2016

7.30 - 9.30pm Clubrooms

This week group 2 will be tying a Foam Christmas Beetle Pattern

The foam beetle fly pattern is easy to tie, but remains one of the top producers during the summer months. Trout love to eat beetles (and ants) that are blown into the water. They are a terrific pattern to offer to rising fish when no hatch is evident and are a good searching pattern as well

If you would like to learn to tie your own flies and understand what you are targeting and why when tying it, then Wednesday evenings at 7.30 pm at our Lilydale Lake Club room is the time & place to come along and learn from our expert teachers.

Group 1 usually starts at 7.30pm and Group 2 usually starts at 8.00pm (see below for explanation of groups)

(Usually we run the session over 2 hours but you can tie until 10.00pm, so if 7.30pm start is too early for you to get there, come by 8.00pm at the latest).

YVFF Members conduct courses in fly-tying for the very beginner to the more advanced tier.

Don’t worry if you haven’t tried it before or if you do not have any of the necessary equipment. For beginners, we can supply the essential tools to get you started.

A small charge of $5 applies to cover the cost of tying materials supplied, and RSVPs are necessary for us to ensure we have sufficient resources available.

We divide the group into two main classes.
1. The beginner who needs to take it slowly in the beginning to perfect their skill – in this group you will tie nymphs (click for more info) until you are proficient in fly tying techniques.
2. The second group is for the beginner through to expert where your ability to grasp the technique is not your major challenge and you can learn to quickly tie and master a range of flies and soon fill your fly box There is nothing more satisfying than catching a fish on a fly you have tied.
