To the fly tyer March is a little bit like the week before finals in college: you realize that you should have been more diligent and productive than you were during the (now expired) season. Fortunately, most of us have found that it is easier to stay on top of fly production than studies… but that is another story.
This week on Loon Live Matt is tying up a few patterns that will help get the juices going if you’ve been putting off restocking your trout box. There are some new materials in these patterns and, as always, Matt does a great job of putting his own twist on some bugs that look familiar.
We’ll see you on Thursday at 6pm PST! Come with your comments and questions; that’s the beauty of the live stream!
