Saturday, December 7th Fly Tying Demo with Chris Williams

Chris Wms

Chris Williams, is a retired teacher who has been a fly tier and fisherman for over 50 years. Through his numerous regional fly fishing excursions he has created many different and effective fly patterns. Largely self taught, he ties all manners of trout flies, but specializes in dries and emergers for spring creeks, tail waters, and still waters.Chris is a long time Pro Team member of Whiting Farms and a member of Moonlit Fly Fishing’s Pro Staff. He has written articles for Fly Fusion Magazine, contributed flies to a number of books, and writes a quarterly column for the Whiting Farms Newsletter. Chris also has demonstrated and taught fly tying and classes at expos throughout the northwest for many years. Amongst these are the Eastern Idaho Fly Fishing Expo in Idaho Falls and the Western Oregon Fly Fishing Expo in Albany, Oregon. In addition, he markets a line of flies which are distributed and sold commercially. This will be Chris’s third tying demo at Jimmy’s, and he is looking forward to renewing old friendships, making some new ones, and sharing some of the flies and fly tying techniques he’s learned

Saturday, November 30th Fly Tying Demo with Ben Swaner

 

Ben Swaner

In 1997 at the age of 10, Ben Swaner moved to Idaho and quickly became interested in fly fishing while his family established roots in area. He vividly remembers catching his first large trout in the Coffee Pot rapids section of Henry’s Fork and meeting Pat Bennett (creator of the Pat’s Rubberlegs) through a family friend one summer while visiting Island Park. While attending College at Utah State University, Ben took his first fly tying class using a kit his grandfather had gifted him several years earlier. Fly tying quickly became the perfect fusion of artistic expression and utility for him. He has been fortunate to live in and travel to locations with exceptional fishing opportunities across the west including Alaska.

Ben recently moved back to Idaho Falls with his family and has enjoyed reconnecting with all of the fisheries he visited as a youth. Most recently Ben’s fishing and fly tying inspiration has been focused on European style nymphing. He has gravitated to this approach because of its simplicity and effectiveness in catching fish. His demo will feature nymph patterns that he has found to be effective in targeting trout in our local and regional waters.
