Fly Tying Lesson



The master is teaching the class.



We have several women in the club and many come for the fly tying lessons.


See Marvin and Perry contemplate tonight's hopper pattern. Marvin tied this patter without the use of a fly tying vice. He is also a master fly tier.

You can see the grasshopper pattern. The body is of one-quarter inch closed foam rubber. The wings are made by taping a hens feather to a clear piece of two inch wide celophane tape used for wrapping packages.




Perry is the master fly tier and the teacher for the September class. He taught us to tie a grasshopper pattern.





This is a fly tied by Marvin Orwig a very accomplished fly tier and rod builder. Marvin worked in the Angler's Habitat Fly Fishing shop in Caldwell, ID and worked as a fly fishing guide in Alaska for eighteen years.
