As per the posts I made in the Events and General forums, there will be a tying mini-jam held at the Lehigh Gap Nature Center on Saturday 12/17/11 from 1PM to 5PM.
This thread is the place to sign up if you plan on attending.
To bring some semblence of organization to this event, what I'd like the tyers that attend to do, is pick ONE fly that they feel comfortable tying and sharing the recipe and techniques required to tie it. You'll then get to be the "featured tyer" for a few minutes, while you tie that fly, and explain as you go. We'll have plenty of time, so you won't be rushed. Duplicate flies are OK, but the more variety of flies, the better.
It'd be really cool if the tyers could "pre-package" a half dozen kits (materials and a hook for two flies in each) in ziplock bags for folks that'd like to try tying your pattern. This is targeted primarily for any newbies in attendance that don't have tying stuff with them. This is optional, not mandatory, as it could get expensive, and the pattern may not be "newbie friendly". It's your call. If you decide to make up "kits", you'll then be asked to go over to the newbie table, and help the newbies with your pattern.
I'd also like to ask the tyers to donate their selected fly to be raffled off at the end of the day (4:30PM). All proceeds from the raffle will be given to the Nature Center as a donation.
I'll start things off:
H.A. - sulphur comparadun w/newbie kits
trowpa - BHPT - sorry trow, it had to be done. :-D
