Modern Saltwater Fly Tying

Transcription

1 Downey Fly Fishers November 2013 Join us for our November Program: Modern Saltwater Fly Tying By: Adam Perez Modern Saltwater Fly Tying Adam is our next club member that is going to speak to our club for an in house presentation. After hearing Don speak about surf fishing and Zino and Tod discuss carp tactics, we are lucky to have Adam conduct a presentation about Modern Saltwater Fly Tying. Adam is an extremely innovative fly tyer that pays attention to the small details that make a big difference in catch count for any given day. During the course of his presentation, Adam will discuss some of the new materials that have been developed in recent years which allow flies to move and breath in the water like never before. Adam will also discuss how he creates long lasting flies that can take a pounding and avoid hang ups by the addition of a durable weedguard. Adam has recently created a Facebook page entitled So Cal Fly Tying which was very well-received in the Southern California fly fishing community. Make sure you put the next DFF meeting on your calendar so you can witness firsthand the materials and techniques that Adam uses to create his highly productive flies. Join us at 6 pm for a fly tying demonstration prior to the meeting at 7:00 pm
