Details

Whether using feathers and skins or wood and plastic, we've got you covered at the Olympia Chapter of Trout Unlimited's fly tying and lure making event. Regardless of how you fish and what you use, the goal is to replicate the silhouette and color of local insects or baitfish. We'll have tyers and crafters on hand to guide us through that process.

"Spinners, Spoons, and Soft Lures". Come try your hand at making spinners like Mepps, Blue Fox, and Flash Glo; spoons like Canadian Wonder; and 'soft' body lures like wedding ring, oakie drifter, and spin glo. Primary focus will be on use in rivers for steelhead and salmon; however, with the right size and conditions each can be effective in any water almost anytime.

"Wooly Buggers and Chum Babies". Give fly tying a try. Whether on a local lake, in our rivers or on Puget Sound, wooly buggers and chum babies will turn the heads of our local trout - rainbow or searun cutthroat.

We'll have tying and lure making materials and vices for those who need it. If you already a vice or other lure making tools, bring them along.

We'll be at Three Magnets Brewing Co., 600 Franklin St SE, Suite 105, just up the street from the Capital. We’ll start at 6:30 p.m. and try to get a couple of lures or flies made before we adjourn at 8:00 p.m. A food truck is available for a bite to eat as well. Hope to see you there.

Tickets are free. This event is limited to the first 18 people who register. A $5.00 donation to help pay for materials would be welcomed, but not necessary.
