We’ll be at it again this saturday from 9:30am to 11:30 with our guest tier, Mike Brinkac. If you’ve been coming, you’ve met Mike. He has been tying for many years and is an innovator in terms of tying techniques. Mike will be sharing some of his own patterns with us including my favorite, the Psychedelic Brassie. Don’t miss this free fly tying seminar. I guarantee when you watch Mike tie and adopt his thinking and perspective you will become a better tier. See you saturday.

We will tie about 4 patterns that teach basic skills and use basic tools. You will need to provide your own materials which can be purchased at the store. I have several vises you are welcome to use if you do not have your own. The materials list is as follows: We’ll have the coffee on and lots of fun and great bonding time while learning the newest patterns and sharing info,patterns and tips. We’re also lining up a great docket of guest tiers from our own employees to local talent and innovators. We will cover the spectrum of tying from drys to saltwater so make sure to mark your calendars and come join us. There is no cost but you will need to buy your own materials if you want to tie along.

Price is $250/pp September 26th, 2011 | % Category: Events | Comments are closed |  IMGP2592.JPG We are looking forward to a great year this year with our private water, Big Bend Farm on the Cowpasture. We will be stocking 1000 rainbow and brown trout on September 21. Fly fishing in Virginia doesn’t get much better than this! We anticipate a mid-September opening if water levels and temps cooperate. Last year October turned out to be the most outstanding month of the whole year with HUGE caddis hatches coming off daily on warmer days. The fish were fresh and water levels were in the 400-600 cfs range making for easy wading and ideal fishing conditions. I expect the Farm to fill up for October by the 3rd week of September. For those of you not familiar with our setup, we offer 1 1/2 miles of private farm water, heavily stocked, that is open to only 5 anglers per day. Fees are $90 per angler and guides are available upon request.
