Hi All, semi active member here;

Since the fall I have been the advisor of a fly tying club in the middle school I work in, we meet roughly once every two weeks for just over a half hour each time. Some of the kids are really into the technical beauty of fly tying and others like the mesmerizing nature of it.

If we all know one thing is that fly tying can be expensive at times, just for ourselves, now try multiplying that by 25. I have tried reaching out to a few companies directly with this same question. Unfortunately, I can't foot the bill alone.

If you are willing to part ways with any materials, hooks, beads; myself and my kids will be MORE than appreciative.

If you have any interest in donating, please DM me and we can sort out the details.

Thank you for your time and betterment of our future generation(s),

Wonderful idea and thank you for teaching the next gen. I just signed up with our local TU to help with beginner fly tying lessons.

Let me poke around my bench and see what I can pull together to part ways with.
 
I have some materials that may be looking for a good home. These days, I only tie large streamers. I no longer have the eyesight, dexterity, and patience to tie small patterns. I might have some decent capes, necks and other trout materials I could part with. Let me look, and I'll reach out.

Thank you so much!!
 
I have something I could donate. I live in Nazareth so maybe we could meet somewhere.
