WIFFC recently organized a "Fly Swap" among its members. In our fly swap participants chose a fly they liked and tied enough that all the other participants could have one. Thank you to the nine who got this event off the ground: Clarence Hein, John Welty, Lou Roscoe, Clayton Wright, Paul Messner, Greg Tritt, Phil Latendresse, Rod Emory, and Bob Stephens. Thank you, too, to Giana Holle who organized and managed the event. Photos of the flies and some of their recipes can be found below. All the flies submitted for this fly swap are great for fish of the PNW. At our next WIFFC zoom meeting (April 14) we’ll have the tiers talk about where, when, and how to fish their fly.
This was the first time our club has organized a fly swap, and people enjoyed it so much that we hope to have more. Stay tuned.
For members interested in fly tying but without fly tying tools, WIFFC has fly tying kits that can be borrowed. We hope these flies inspire you to try a new pattern or just try fly tying for the first time.
