NBFF Fly Tying Sessions this Thursday Oct. 2nd

We will be restarting the NBFF Fly Tying Sessions this Thursday Oct. 2nd at the Westside Community Center, 2932 South IH 35 Frontage Road, New Braunfels from 6-8 pm. We will be tying the Gold Ribbed Hares Ear Nymph this month. We will start promptly at 6 with a short skills YouTube video and then a video of the fly we will be tying. (Attached below)

The club will supply the needed tying materials for this fly. If you are new to tying, we also have several sets of tying tools, and you are more than welcome to bring your own tools. Come out to learn or practice your tying skills and tie a few for yourself and some for the monthly club meeting fly raffle. Catching a fish on a fly that you have tied is very rewarding.

Hope to see you there,
Gary Nyland
