Tie On One with DRiFT at the Bubblehouse!
Join us at the Bubblehouse Brewing Company for some casual fly tying and general merriment!
Bring your tying tools and fill the gaps in your box or start on your next Tie-a-Thon 100 flies!
DRiFT will provide materials to tie a #14 red-wire chironamid nymph for the Tie-A-Thon. If you wish to get an early start on a few, we'll be tying on a #14 nymph hook with a silver bead, the body will be touching wraps of red brassie wire, and the thorax will be peacock herl.
There will be pizza.
