Hi All,

I'm a long time angler but am very new to fly fishing (never been yet...but first trip will be soon), even newer to tying. I signed up for a class on the 5th at Murray's Fly shop in Edinburg and that will be my first time casting a fly rod. 

I heard about your group from Ryan at Vienna Orvis and I plan on making it to Casting Church and Beer tie this month. Any suggestions as to items I should bring for either event would be great.

For the Beer tie, is there a particular pattern that will be the focus? I have now tied a few Wooly Buggers and Clouser Minnows, but little else.

Thanks,

Gary F.

Welcome. I’ll be teaching the tying class at beer tie. I will have all tools and materials. If there is a fly pattern you want to learn or a technique please let me know so I can pack accordingly. 

I haven’t decided on a seasonal fly for this month.

Thanks Rob. I'm just learning to tie. Have only done a few patterns. I did catch my first fish on a fly rod today, and it was on the first fly (olive Wooly Bugger) I ever tied! Smallmouth on the Shenandoah.
