Fly Tying Demos Resume on Saturday, December 2nd

The Saturday tying demo will begin at 1030 AM featuring Keegan Berrett.

I was born and raised fishing the waters of East Idaho where I learned to fish, row a boat and tie flies. I did this until I joined the Marines right out of high school. After serving, I moved back home and picked up where I left off, fishing and tying with Dad and his friends. My Dad, Elden, is a fly fisher, guide and fly tier of wide renown.

I love tying flies and love creating an effective and successful pattern even more. Small dry fries are my favorite tying and fishing, but streamers are a close second. Our long cold winters help drive this passion, just to keep our minds right. I have a wife who supports my addiction, and I have 2 beautiful daughters that keep me on my toes. My younger daughter enjoys tying with me and enjoys a day on the river catching fish.  

Being a Marine veteran, I share a special brotherhood with other vets. I have been the Assistant Program Lead for the East Idaho chapter of Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing since it started. It is a special thing to introduce the serenity of fly tying and fly fishing with our disabled vets. Knowing the serenity that these activities brings to me drives my desire to pass this to someone that can use some peace of mind. 

  I have been guiding part time on the South Fork of the Snake and the Main Snake below the confluence with the Henry’s Fork. I am a signature tyer for Fulling Mill with several patterns available from them.

I will feature some of these during my Saturday, December 1st demo.
