A quick reminder that fly tying is on again on Monday 27^th June.

We’re going to tie an awesome little pattern that absolutely slays rainbows from July- November (especially around Ngongotaha). There are many tales about days using this fly, and this little beaut of a fly has accounting for hundreds (ok thousands) of fish in its time.

So what are we tying?

Its time to restock the pellet flies for the “Kids Fishouts”. This is a great opportunity for everyone to hone some basic fly tying techniques, and put your fly tying talents to good use.

Be there or be fishless.
