Potomac-Patuxent TU Annual Fly Tying Extravaganza

Groups audience 
Thursday, January 22nd, 2015 - 12:00am to Friday, January 23rd, 2015 - 2:00am
Enjoy the beginning of 2015 with a glimpse of how to tie flies and maybe even pick up a new hobby (obsession?). At 7:00 PM on Wednesday, January 21st, 2015 at the Schweinhaut Senior Center, 1000 Forest Glen Road, Silver Spring, MD, the Potomac Patuxent Chapter of Trout Unlimited will present our annual fly tying demonstration. Join us at this chapter meeting to see our most talented local tyers show off their skills and favorite patterns. Come learn how to make it easier to succeed at this intriguing sport of fly fishing.
 
In addition to a table for wounded warriors from PPTU's Fort Meade Project Healing Waters program and their PPTU coaches, the following tyers will be presenting favorite patterns:
 
Bob Dietz will be wowing us by tying the venerable Lime Trude; Alan Burrows will be showing off his version of the Dorato Hare's Ear; while Carl Smolka ties the #10 Rob Snowhite's damsel fly in chartreuse. George Vincent will tie his spectacular Smoke Jumper emerger; while Gene Cyprych will show us his most effective Woolly Bugger patterns. Bob O'Donnell will tempt us with his Cased Caddis. As a special treat, guest expert fisherman and tyer, Joe Bruce, will demonstrate his Bullet Head Darter pattern.
 
Come to this meeting, and share with us one of the season's most popular presentations. Hope to see you all there.
 
Don't forget to bring some funds to buy the third edition of "GUIDE TO MARYLAND TROUT FISHING The Catch-and-Release Streams" by Charlie Gelso and Larry Coburn. Available at our library table, this wonderful guide to our trout fishing waters is a must have reference for every PPTU fly fisher.
