Phil Lambrecht was our guest speaker. Phil presented knot tying with the assistance of Tom Williams who provided the audio/visual to project Phil’s knot tying up on the big screen. Phil reviewed many of the knots that are used in fly fishing. Phil demonstrated tying four of the primary knots. The uni knot, perfection loop, davey knot and drop loop knot. Phil emphasized that every fly fisherman should know how to tie the uni knot and perfection loop. All of the attendees also participated by tying the four knots Phil demonstrated. For further assistance all of these knots are demonstrated on youtube.
The update from the Director’s was not presented to allow more time for knot tying.
Ron conducted the Fly Raffle.
