Saturday Fly Tying Demos to Resume
For several years it has been a tradition at the shop to offer wintertime Saturday fly tying demonstrations (demo(s)), free to the public. True, these were suspended during the covid crisis, but on being revived during the winter of 2022-2023 an enthusiastic public attended.
Realizing that this event is in demand by the fly fishing public, Fly Fish Food Jimmy’s will continue this Saturday tradition with noted fly tiers demonstrating their abilities at the tying vise. Each of these tiers will also offer tying technique and “how, where and when“ information on fishing the patterns demonstrated.
For each Saturday, beginning November 4th this year, and offered into March, 2024, this web site will announce the scheduled tier, information on patterns they intend to tie, and an outline of materials to be used do so. Demos begin at 10 AM and extend to around Noon. Being adjacent to Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays respectively, demos will not be offered on Saturday, November 25th and Saturday, December 23rd.
Our November 4th demo features Clark (Cheech) Pierce. Cheech presented a worthy demo years ago at the shop, but since that event has accumulated vast knowledge on materials usage, much of which is original and new to the fly tying world. Look for Cheech to also give information on using each demonstrated pattern as well as answer questions on technique and pattern selection. Look for more information on Cheech’s demo later this month.
