Beer Tying. A Social Fly Tying Gathering

Friends,

Monday, 11-3-25, is a Beer Tying night. We usually tie on the first and third Mondays of the month (with occasional exceptions)

From Rick Beare:

Hello fellow Beer Tiers.

Here is the link to the Loop to Loop podcast by Fly Fisherman magazine on Yvon Chouinard and his new book. The book is called Pheasant Tail Simplicity.

The book has interactive QR codes to videos demonstrating concepts and catches discussed i. the book.

On YouTube there are many of the flies about 22 demonstrating the simplicity of the flies.

Chinard is a very interesting character as founder of Patagonia and his views on fly fishing fishing one pattern only for a year. He is a wet fly Flymph guy the other two co authors Craig Mathews is a dry guy and Mauro Mazzo is a nymph guy.

Chouinard also has a Pheasant Tail bone fish fly which is interesting on one of the videos in the library.

Look up Pheasant Tail Simplicity play list for all the patterns.

Beer Tying is a social tying get together. Everyone ties whatever they want and the creations range from saltwater flies to size 22 midges. It is not tying lessons, but if you are having a hard time with a specific tying step, odds are you can watch a more experienced tyer tackle the process. The courteous thing to do is ask if you can watch another tyer. If you are on the fence about attending, please understand that this is a good group of people that create a welcoming, inclusive environment.
I hope to see you at The House or on Zoom. The House has WiFi and I plan to bring my laptop so people near and far can still connect. In person tying will start at 7:00 and Zoom tying will start between 7:00 and 7:30. If you haven’t been to The House, enter on the right side of the building and take your first right in to the red room. We will be in the back of the room. Bring your tying stuff, a tying light, an extension cord, and a good story. You don’t have to tie to attend. Let me know if you have any questions.
