Each month, usually the last Monday of the month, leaders of our Chapter invite everyone to share their fly tying expertise and/or learn how to tie a featured fly. No experience is necessary to get started.
The Tie and Lie gathering is a social engagement as well as an educational experience. Tie and Lie announcements are sent out electronically via our mailing list, same as the monthly newsletter.

THE BLACKBURN TELLICO NYMPH

This month's fly is a recommendation from Ron Becker. He and Jack Gregory, both avid Smokies fishermen, have had great success with this fly.

The fly was created by noted fly tier Rick Blackburn in the 1970's. The Blackburn Tellico is a variant of the 100-year-old original nymph that is thought to have originated on the Tellico River in eastern Tennessee. An easy-to-tie fly, the Tellico Nymph has become one of the most popular flies to come out of the region.

Thread: Brown
Weight: Wire to match hook
Tail: Brown hackle fibers
