Salmon Fly Tying Group

This week we will tie the Aurora Cascade Double – a great fly for spring on peat stained rivers in Scotland.  It also looks good when tied on a Gold Treble hook.

The pattern is attached.  Any normal Salmon Double hook is OK.

I can lend material, so don’t worry if you are short of anything.

Don’t forget to bring your lamps!

Trout Fly Tying

Do come along and tie fly for fishing, and maybe Geoff can lead a beginners group?

British Fly Fair International (BFFI)

The BFFI is at Stafford County Showground on Sat 10 & Sun 11 Feb from 09:30 – 16:00 each day.   Cost is £15 at the door or £13 in advance on Saturday and £2 cheaper on Sunday.

Do go – there are some worldclass fly tyers demonstrating.

Annual Fees

Please don’t forget to send your £10 to our Treasurer for 2023-24 tying season.
