NBFF Fly Tying Session
Here are some photos from lasts nights Fly Tying session at the Westside Community Center. We practiced our dubbing skills by tying the Hare’s Ear. A good Fly for Trout on the Guadalupe. So many fly’s have dubbing, this is a skill that you will use often, not only when tying a fly for the Guadalupe, but pretty much anywhere. Our next session will be March 2nd (Thursday) starting at 6:00 pm. Hope to see you there.
