Fly tying this evening - peter805 - 10-16-2009 Every thursday nite my local fly shop (Fishermans Spot) is having little fly tying get together after they close the shop for couple of hours. So I went there today and checked it out. It was very cool. Two guys that work there and three other guys tying flies. We just talk fishing and stuff and I watched them tying. When I finaly get my stuff I will take it overthere and ty with them and get some good help Im sure. I just tought that I share.

Thank you Peter [signature] Re: [macfly55] Fly tying this evening - flygoddess - 10-16-2009 Dude, you need the TEVO or Direct TV recorder. Very nice. Two movies at one time even. I was playing around and hit record while the show was on the final credits. Then checked the recorded, and it had recorded the whole movie! [signature] Re: [flygoddess] Fly tying this evening - macfly55 - 10-16-2009 lol.. I have cox cable with DVR.. so I do record shows.. especially when thee is a conflict with what MrsMacFly wants to watch...[:p] MacFly [signature] Re: [peter805] Fly tying this evening - cpierce - 10-16-2009 Good deal Peter! Watching others and getting some hands on help will speed you right along. It is good business for the flyshop too. Portneuf River Outfitters in Pocatello, Idaho does much the same thing, but during regular hours. He has a room in the back that people meet in. It is a great way to see some different and innovative techniques. I am just a new born baby fly tier, so like you I can use all the help I can get!! [signature] Re: [cpierce] Fly tying this evening - flygoddess - 10-16-2009 I think all FLY shops have a tying station. I did a demo at Portneuf and at Jimmy's in IF at the beginning of the year. They were great to work for. Hoping to swing another show next year. [signature] Re: [peter805] Fly tying this evening - albinotrout - 10-18-2009 That is a great way to learn how to tie. Also great way to make friends.[cool] [signature] Re: [peter805] Fly tying this evening - Scruffy_Fly - 10-22-2009 Bass Pro probably has some free fly tying classes also. ... Assuming you are near Bass Pro. [signature] Re: [Scruffy_Fly] Fly tying this evening - peter805 - 10-22-2009 Hmmm, Im about maybe 90 min. So a little too much for that. But thank you anyways. Peter [signature] Re: [peter805] Fly tying this evening - macfly55 - 10-22-2009 did you check at Bob Marriotts.. if that is any closer it might be worth a try... MacFly [signature] Re: [macfly55] Fly tying this evening - peter805 - 10-22-2009 Yeah, I talked with DR about that place couple of days ago. I went there ones to buy float tube set up once with money in hand and was totally ignored. So if that is how they run they business then............... Im very happy with my fly shop (Fisherman Spot) so I think I just go there. But thank you anyways. Peter [signature] Re: [peter805] Fly tying this evening - macfly55 - 10-22-2009 you did mention that last week.. so guess your right.. stick with what works best for you.. :-) MacFly [cool] [signature] Re: [peter805] Fly tying this evening - Dryrod - 10-23-2009 [font "Comic Sans MS"][#008000][size 3]Hey Peter - how about the Conejo Valley Fly Club - looks like they have fly tying classes.[/size][/#008000][/font] [center]http://cvff.org/ [/center] [signature] Re: [Dryrod] Fly tying this evening - peter805 - 10-23-2009 I know the guy that runs the club. His the owner of fishing store in Thousand Oaks. He did have one full store unit just for fly fishing but now its gone. There is this little closed space for ff now[frown]. And the guy that knows ff works there only 2 days a week so...........................driving to Fishermans spot in the valley it is. I heard that the club is lame and not much going on over there. I may check it out one day just to see. peter [signature] Re: [peter805] Fly tying this evening - Dryrod - 10-23-2009 [font "Comic Sans MS"][#008000][size 3]I stopped by once and wasn't too impressed with his inventory. They weren't too friendly either. [/size][/#008000][/font] [signature] Re: [Dryrod] Fly tying this evening - peter805 - 10-23-2009 Which one? I hope you dont mean the Fisherman Spot . [signature] Re: [Dryrod] Fly tying this evening - Dryrod - 10-24-2009 [#005000][font "Comic Sans MS"][size 3]Don't recall the name as it was a couple of years ago. Was on my way up to 1K Oaks to visit my niece and noticed a store selling fishing stuff and just dropped in to check out their goodies.[/size][/font][/#005000] [signature]
