SUMMARY:Activities Meeting - Tie Along with Al Haxton & Sybil
DESCRIPTION:Watch as Al Haxton walks everyone through these great patterns! Sybil will be tying on the close up camera. \n——————————————————————————————————————————————————————– \nFor years I have been a proponent of “emerger” patterns. I have enjoyed tying and fishing these patterns ever since an old vendor from our shows in the 1980s and 1990s showed me his developed pattern called the ACE. That’s ACE for Attitude Correct Emerger. That guy\, Mike Freeland\, of Freeland Outfitters used to have a shop in Waterford.    \nSo at February 24ths Tie Along\, we will tie a couple different emergers\, both newer patterns\, but using one of Mike’s tricks with the hooks. \nThe Deer Hair Emerger \nHook-dry fly hook bent or Klinkhamer bent hook\, size 14 \nThread-tan size 8/0 \nWing-deer hair \nShuck-Z-lon tan \nBody-tan turkey biot \nThorax-tan Hares ear dubbing \nKlinkhamer Emerger \nHook-dry fly hook bent or Klinkhamer bent hook\, size 14 \nThread-tan size 8/0 \nPost-para post \nBody-tan super fine dubbing \nThorax-peacock herl \nHackle-Blue Dun dry fly hackle sized for hook \n  \nThese patterns\, or similar\, are on U-Tube:\n \nHere is the Deer Hair Emerger link:          www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ABafzWjFDU \nHere is the Klinkhamer link:                     youtu.be/sTKCB6R3T_c \nBoth of these links are shown in Barry Ord Clarke’s book The Feather Benders Flytying Techniques. \nThis is truly a great book and I highly recommend it. \nAl \n——————————————————————————————————————————————— \n\n\n\n\nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/83284533014?pwd=V241Ty96Mnc0TCtDaHQ3NlkxcURkUT09\n \nMeeting ID: 832 8453 3014\nPasscode: 984481\nOne tap mobile\n+13126266799\,\,83284533014#\,\,\,\,*984481# US (Chicago)\n+16465588656\,\,83284533014#\,\,\,\,*984481# US (New York)

SUMMARY:Activities Meeting - Tie Along with Dan Walker
DESCRIPTION:Come Tie Along with Dan Walker! \nHello fellow club members and it is the Holiday Season already. It is unbelievable that this year is almost over\, but probably most of us are happy it is. So for some holiday fun and cheer\, we are bringing Dan Walker to the vise to tie a great pattern series of the “Opal Minnow.” \nIf you’re not too familiar with Dan\, he is a long time member of the Michigan Fly Fishing Club. He is one of the members who usually has a fishing report to give. When we used to have regular meetings\, he was always tying egg flies\, or some other kind of pattern\, wherever he was sitting. Also\, he has appeared as the “Featured Tyer” program in the past. He is a master at the vise for sure\, and he is a fish magnet when he goes out fishing. \nHOOK:  #8 to #4. Down eye standard shank fly hook or a jig hook \nBEAD HEAD:  Silver 4.0mm to 5.5mm sized for the hook \nBODY THREAD:  Chartreuse is best\, or white \nTAIL:  2 strands of Opal Mirage Flashabou \nBODY:  Opal Mirage wrapped over chartreuse thread base \nHEAD THREAD:  Fire Orange 140D or Uni 6/0 \nWING:  Sparse white bucktail tied in the gap\, with small fire orange collar against the bead head \nWING FLASH:  One strand of Opal Mirage folded to each side of the wing. \n—————————————————————————————————– \nZoom Login Information: \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/87993988668?pwd=OWlObUpUV01QSkFtdzE4dXlwcEdKUT09 \nMeeting ID: 879 9398 8668 \nPasscode: 768133 \nOne tap mobile \n+13126266799\,\,87993988668#\,\,\,\,\,\,0#\,\,768133# US (Chicago)

SUMMARY:FFF Fly Tying Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Volunteers are requested for our booth at the Great Lakes Fly Fishing Show. We set up a booth for kids to learn how to tie a fly. We are a very popular booth with many returning customers. We generally tie various designs of wooly buggers. They are very easy to tie and easy to show a kid how to do it. We will teach you how to do it. \nContact: Spencer Vanderhoof \nPlease sign up to volunteer so we can get the list of volunteers to show registration the day before the set up.
