Last Demo for this season 21/03/2017

Our last demo for the 2017 winter season is Paul Procter  giving a talk on "Trout Tactics". Paul has recently returned from his latest adventure, so it should be a cracking evening.

Workshop day with Stuart Croft

We had a fabulous day with Stuart Croft last Saturday, with a full explanation and tying demonstration of his most used flies.

Study in concentration.

Next demonstration 24 January 2017

Our next demonstrator will be Dave Southall. Dave fishes and guides on the chalk streams of North Yorkshire and has wide interests in all aspects of fly fishing.
This will be a good evening to enjoy.

Fascinating evening with Don Staziker

We had a fascinating evening with Don on the 15th November. He talked about flies above the surface of the water, in it, and under it.

Plus he demonstrated a whole range of flies that work.
