A brace of Black and Peacock spiders
Our fun and modern fly tying courses are beginning to take shape for Launceston, Hobart and the North-West. Launceston classes start on the 21 May, and there are still a couple of spaces left. The venue is at The Essential Fly Fisher, at 105 York Street. Email me to reserve a place www.riverfly.com.au/contact
Dates for the Hobart and the North-West classes will be set soon, as class numbers are beginning to fill. Please email me if you are interested in attending courses in either of these areas www.riverfly.com.au/contact
Course content
The courses have been structured to enable all skill levels to participate, and to teach take-away skills for tying better flies, and tying them easier. Some of the topics covered will include:
- Technique for tying durable bodies with peacock herl
- Tricks for tying deer-hair and Possum Shaving Brush ‘wings’ for better flotation and fish-catching
- Technique for tying in durable, non-slip parachute hackles
- Techniques for tying easy ‘porcupine’ hackles – the easy high-viz alternative to parachute hackles.
- Tying with deer-hair – bullet-heads and the WMD
- Correct techniques for tying with foam – glue, legs and the Chernobyl Ant
- The rules for using colour and UV reflective materials in flies
The course will cover many more topics along the way, and the day-to-day techniques that may be troubling you (such as dubbing!) will be covered through the course of tying the featured flies.
There’s no better thrill than catching a fish on a fly of your own design. Come and join us to learn more about how to do it.
