August Fly Tying Class: Sierra Bright Dot

by Elaine Cook - Fly Tying Chairman



Aug 14 6:30 PM @ Aptos Grange


Summer and fall are the best times to use this trout fly. It’s best used in small streams where the water is not real turbulent. The Sierras are great for this fly. It also works well in stillwater and quiet parts of rivers.
The class is free and materials provided. If you have 8/0 black thread, please bring it. As always, bring your vice and tools.

For you beginners, there will be what you need to participate and you are always welcome and encouraged to come. Be sure to bring prescription glasses and if you have magnification, bring that as well.

Sign ups are important so that the amount of material will be adequate. You can do that at the club meeting or calling by the day before the class. 831-234-6515 or 831-688-1561.


Future tying classes. Dates and subject may change, please go to Fly Name to see more information.

Date Fly Excerpt
Sep 11 6:30 pm - 8:30 pmSeptember Fly Tying Class: Punk Perch

Our class this month will feature a stillwater pattern for trout. If you’re going to Mammoth, you’ll want to have a few of these with you to fish Crowley. It’s a relatively easy fly to tie, so if you were thinking about learning to tie flies, come on down. We always have equipment available for people to borrow. All materials are provided and if you have black 8/0  and red 6/0 thread do bring them. The red will only be used for the head, so several bobbins will already have the red thread on them to share.
