It was an informal session and I walked through a whole host of tying and fishing techniques based around a green pea, orange booby, hares ear, slate grey buzzer, elk hair sedge and a green daiwl bach.
As this was the first time I have done a talk - apart from a few Pitsford open days - I took Mike and Phil along for some moral support. With a good number of traditional ales on tap and a great spread laid on by Paul and family it was a great night that I thoroughly enjoyed - hopefully everyone else did too, but I am sure they did.
There had to be something go wrong and as i had just finished my hares ear it pinged out of the holder and couldn't be found - all that effort! Thank goodness I had another one in box I show. We did find it afterwards - just in case they have been turning the place upside down today! I have salvaged a few today and have loaded them up below.
UV Hares ear, fluorescent orange tying silk, hares ear tail, hares ear body and thorax, pheasant thorax cover, oval gold rib and flour Orange head.
Slate Grey Buzzer, slate grey tying silk body and thorax, fine pearl back, red holographic rib, pearl thorax cover and orange goose biot cheeks.
Elk hair sedge, ginger palmer hackle, gold rib, ginger front hackle and a pinch of natural deer hair for the wing.
Thank you all!
