Hey everybody. There's lot of opinions floating around these days about the future of TPFR. I don't really want to get into it here in this thread, but one thought I have is to get back to our roots. And I've noticed that lately, our meetings have trended towards more emphasis on the BEER than the TIE. So, for 2020, I am resolving to tie at every meeting I attend. I'll post the fly or theme I'll tie in advance if anyone wants to tie along.I'm going to start in February tying a Royal Coachman. Random, I know, but I don't have any in my box and it's an amazing attractor pattern that also looks cool. Note that this fly can be tied as both a dry and a wet. I'll probably tie the dry, but if anyone would demonstrate the wet that would be super cool too. Has anyone ever tied it as a parachute??

I did some tying in early 2019, but have since fell off the wagon. Ill be there next month with vise in hand.
Here's to getting back to our roots!
Cheers,

Great suggestions Cary. I'd love to see an example of that blue tinsel coachman. As I mentioned, I'll be doing a standard pattern with maybe a few convenient substitutions this time, but I have seen some yummy parachute variations in fly shops. Stimmy version would be deadly too I'm sure.
Kevin, I hope to be doing this all year long, so there oughtta be plenty of opportunities to tie along. Looking forward to seeing you at the next one you can make.
