PSWOTF - Women's Fly Tying - Fly: Bead Head Midge Pupa

We're readying for the winter hatches with a midge. As usual, we'll start at 1:30 and wrap up around 3:30. We're still working on locations - right now we are putting Lumen Field as the location (just ignore that!) and stay tuned for an email about the real location..

 

New this year we're asking for a $5 donation to help pay for fly tying materials. Please use the donation button in the registration form to make your donation - or you can pay cash at the event. More if you can, less if you can't. We'll be providing materials packets for everyone to use. 

 

We welcome beginners; we have vices and tools available to borrow - just let us know so we make sure we have enough.
