Tying For Conservation- I need Your Support

Hi Everybody!

I am helping Trout Unlimited Canada with their Tying for Conservation fundraiser. For a small donation, you can join me on line as I tie several of my favourite on Wednesday March 31, 2021. Head right over here to make a donation and then join me at the vice.

Fly Tying for Conservation with Silvia D'Amelio-CEO of Trout Unlimited Canada

 Last evening was the start of Fly Tying for Conservation. A fundraising campaign for Trout Unlimited Canada. TUC (Trout Unlimited Canada) has not been able to run their regular fundraising initiatives. TUC is now asked several fly tyers to do a fly tying session on Zoom. For a small donation, you are able to watch the fly tying session and better yet, you just made a donation (tax receipt included) to help keep a very important part of our clean water initiatives going.

Several years ago, Silvia did a fly tying presentation for our club. Last night Silvia demonstrated how she ties one of her original flies, The Soggy Bog! Silvia showed us how to use split thread techniques to dub bodies, a very cool way to use wire to reinforce rabbit strips and how to stack deer hair! Several members of our club participated in the session. It was also an excellent way to connect with fly tyers across Canada.

Next week, Phil Rowley is doing a presentation on Zoom. I will be doing a presentation later in March that you will have the opportunity to watch on Zoom as well.

Here is the link to Tying for Conservation. I hope you will get behind this venture to help TUC carry on with their programming and leadership.

Does THIS make you ANGRY?

We have to fight back everyone.
